BOHEMIA FD RECEIVE REGIONAL AFGP FIRE GRANT AWARD

Mineola, NY. Grant-Guys Inc. is proud to announce the award of $446,800 to the BOHEMIA FIRE DISTRICT for the purchase of 140 complete sets of PPE including boots, helmet/shield, pants, gloves, coat, hood and traffic vest.

This is BFD’s THIRD AWARD with Grant-Guys following a $378,600 FEMA SAFER award for recruitment and retention and a $258,000 portable radio award last week bring the total federal share of funding to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS OVER JUST A SIX WEEK PERIOD.

Bohemia FD is an automatic mutual aid responder to Islip Macarthur Airport and interoperable radios with fire, police, EMS, and airport firefighters is critical to efficient rescue operations.

Regional partners on this award include:

  • Sayville FD,
  • Bayport FD,
  • Blue Point FD,
  • Holbrook FD.

Each will receive about 30 sets of turn-out gear.

The award includes the federal reimbursement of grant writing expenses.

The FEMA Fire Grant application period will open in the Fall of 2023 and Grant-Guys is currently accepting new applicants. Simply email info@grantguys.us or call 516-835-8651.

“Grant Guys has produced a successful regional AFGP award in Suffolk County for 10 consecutive years; there is no fire grant company in the nation that can claim ten consecutive regional AFGP awards in the same two county region in the country.”

“These applications were produced by Long Island based small business Grant-Guys Inc. Receiving this federal support reduces local taxes, increases services to the community and enhances firefighter safety.”

-Tom Devaney, Director of State and Local Programs at Grant Guys,
