Obtaining funding for our Volunteer Fire Departments is an Importent part of the business of Fire Prevention. As of May 11, 2007 Galloway Township received $11,700 for fire prevention (see what others in the state have gotten) from the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) and FEMA. Which isn’t much for the amount of money needed to equip and maintain Five Volunteer Fire Departments. Would the approximate $5 million the Mayor and Council has passed for recreation be more effectively used by our Volunteer Fire Fighters future to Protect the Safety of the Community?
Here are some Web Sites for Fire Fighters, as well as to help the Public better understand the role of the Fire Departments in our Community.
