Hoyer Announces Grants to the College Park Volunteer Fire Department

August 24, 2018

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) announced today that the College Park Volunteer Fire Department in College Park, Maryland has been awarded two grants totaling nearly $500,000. One grant from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program will help fund a power lift system and EMS/rescue equipment, while the other grant awarded through the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program will be used to recruit more volunteers for the department.  

“I’m proud to announce these significant grants for the College Park Volunteer Fire Department,” said Congressman Hoyer. “These new funds will support the dedicated men and women of the College Park Volunteer Fire Department, who put their lives on the line each day for their community. I’m pleased that these grants will be used to recruit new volunteers while also updating the tools our firefighters rely on to do their jobs. Our volunteer and career firefighters must have access to adequate resources to protect our communities, and I will continue to work to ensure each department in the Fifth District has the tools they need.”

As co-chair of the Congressional Fire Caucus, Congressman Hoyer took a lead role in helping to establish the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Program, and each year he leads a letter with Members of Congress to the Appropriations Committee to ensure adequate funding is appropriated for the program. Over $15 million has been awarded to Fifth District fire departments since the program was established. Click here for more information.
