Congrats to the ones that got awarded the first round. I just saw were Fema has posted the awards for 2005....Thank goodness My department was one of 2040 that got awarded....We are going to receive about 234,000 for a new truck...I put in for a tanker with five man cab, 1300 gallon tank, with 1250 gpm pump and CAFS....This is going to be a big deal for my department. If anyone has any suggestion or tips that you feel may help us in buying, feel free to e-mail me... srigney@vci.net

I have had an exceptional 1st round. To all of my 40 departments who got announced today, congratulations! Now break out the check books and start spending that $3.8 million. Its party time folks! I'm out of here.

Looks like we were awarded as well. Great for our Township, citizens and our
department!

New pumper to replace our 1978 pumper!

Thanks to everyone for all their support on the forums and to DHS for making this program available to us.

As of 0400 CST, I can't log in to the grant management site...must be down for a short time to populate the database.

Best of luck to everyone this year!

Well, my sources weren't 100% on everything...vehicle info is out there. So, I'd suggest, as someone in another thread mentioned getting someone to screen your calls if your getting a truck (or making very large purchases!).

And, ask them to contact you via email, until they send you a packet to look over and YOU can schedule a meeting.

Other than that, CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that received funding...My own department was on the list (Yeah, New Tanker!) as are a little more than a handful of others I worked on. Have fun thinking of all the Federal dollars will be buying...and WAY TO GO everyone!

i am very surprised and very excited! my company received a first round award! $18,050 is a great # for my company. This is some great stuff. Congratulations to all other companies that were awarded and good luck to the rest that still have to be awarded.

We just got awarded our grant for a new tanker. Gadsden County Fire Service also got awarded a tanker for Robertsville. Congratulations to everyone.

Same here...congrats to all that did make it.

Received the 10 questions and 1199...and didn't make the list...oh well, what can you do.

This forum is the best primer for the do it yourself grant writer. BC..thanks for all the good info on here. I was going to send you the info, but ran into a wall with time and didnt get it to you..but we were funded in the first round for $225,000 for a pumper. Its my departments 2nd grant in this program, and the 9th that I have written. Maybe I should become a grants writer, I know that being a fire chief and an English Teacher surely helps.

You're quite welcome. I'm glad my postings are helping and not hindering. Actually I'm glad to know someone's actually reading my ramblings and making sense of them.

And watch out for that wall, I know it's Southern cousin real well, I run into it all of the time.

**Nebo424** · 08-20-2005, 03:27 PM
