March 30: Kaptur Announces Federal Award For Sylvania Township Fire Department

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur today announced a federal award of $34,200 to the Sylvania Township Fire Department under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.

The grant is dedicated to operations and safety at the department.

"This is wonderful news for Sylvania Township," said Congresswoman Kaptur. "Our firefighters and first responders put their lives on the line to protect lives and property. This federal assistance is crucial, particularly during these challenging times. I will continue to push for this funding to ensure the safety of the brave men and women who serve the public. They deserve our full support."

Congresswoman Kaptur said the AFG program awards grants directly to fire departments and EMS organizations to enhance their ability to protect the health and safety of the public. Since 2001, AFG has helped firefighters and other first responders to obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other resources needed to protect the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards.
