Hendersonville Fire applying for 3-year, $3M SAFER Grant to add 15 firefighters
The Hendersonville Fire Department is applying for a 3-year, $3.2 million Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant, or the SAFER Grant, that will fund 15 new firefighter positions if approved.
The department was given the green light to apply after a unanimous vote by Hendersonville’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen Tuesday.
The SAFER Grant was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, front line firefighters available in their communities, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
