CALL TO ACTION
– Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is encouraging local officials and firefighters to apply for federal funding under the “Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response” (SAFER) program.
THE DETAILS
– The SAFER program, run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), helps fire departments across the country with funding to hire, train, and retain firefighters.
– Sen. Warren’s push comes after FEMA announced that it will start accepting applications for the SAFER program’s latest round of funding, available now through March 13.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
– The SAFER program serves as a crucial resource for local fire departments and their communities. The more jurisdictions are aware of and take advantage of the available funding, the better equipped they can be to manage emergencies and protect public safety.
