Has Your Fire Department Submitted a Grant Request Yet?

Each month, Carney Strong Initiative donates decontamination supplies, online training, and educational material to one volunteer or small municipal fire department.  Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, and each request submitted is eligible for other special donations such as our Decontamination Day held annually on October 19th, the anniversary of Carney's passing.
