SHENANDOAH – The Shenandoah Fire Department is receiving over $50,000 in fire company grants, the Office of State Fire Commissioner announced today.
Shenandoah’s five fire companies were awarded a combined $62,413.86. Shenandoah Ambulance was awarded $26,973.20.
According to State Rep. Tim Twardzik, projects eligible for funding include construction or renovation of a fire or ambulance company facility, purchase or repair of equipment, training and education, recruitment and retention, or debt reduction.
This year, funds may also be used to supplement operational expenses incurred by the lack of fundraising opportunities resulting from the pandemic, Twardzik said.
