The Green Bay Metro Fire Department is pleased to announce the award of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
This grant is for a total of $755,900. This includes $687,181.81 from FEMA and a $68,718.19 local government match.
This federal grant will be used to fund ongoing paramedic training for Green Bay Metro firefighters.
The primary goal of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and non-affiliated emergency medical service organizations.
Since 2001, AFG has helped firefighters and other first responders obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other resources necessary for protecting the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards.
