First Responder Grants played an instrumental role in helping Colorado River Fire Rescue secure an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for diesel exhaust removal systems in four of our response stations. Their expertise, guidance, and support throughout the grant application process were invaluable. With their assistance, we were able to successfully identify the specific needs of our department, craft a strong and compelling application, and ultimately receive the funding necessary to improve the safety and health of our firefighters.
The installation of these diesel exhaust removal systems will make a significant difference in protecting our personnel from harmful emissions, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment in our stations. We are deeply grateful for the support First Responder Grants provided, helping us achieve this critical improvement in our department.
