On Friday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall expressed his appreciation for the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The funds have been released for disbursement to local volunteer fire departments.
Senator Marshall stated, “I want to thank USDA Secretary Rollins for her thorough review of the funding and allocation to our state fire agencies.” He emphasized the importance of these funds in maintaining safe communities and supporting volunteer firefighters in their service.
The grants are allocated based on annual applications submitted by local volunteer fire departments. The funding will be used to purchase essential equipment, improve training, and enhance their ability to fight fires and protect property and lives.
