ENDICOTT — U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have announced $16,191 in federal funding for the Village of Endicott in Broome County.
The funding was allocated through the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program and will be used to purchase new equipment, including a gear-washer extractor, a gear dryer, and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) mask cleaner.
“This funding for new equipment will ensure that the health and safety of Endicott’s courageous firefighters are protected while responding to any and all emergencies,” Schumer said in a release.
The AFG program is administered by the Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency in cooperation with the department’s United States Fire Administration. The grants are awarded on a competitive basis to the applicants that most closely address the program’s priorities and demonstrate financial need, the release stated.
