CHEMTREC® and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) have teamed up to offer the 2020 CHEMTREC® HELP (Hazmat Emergencies Local Preparedness) Award. Through this program, which is now in its second year, two volunteer fire departments will receive $10,000 each to enhance their response capabilities and increase local readiness for hazardous materials incidents.

To be eligible to apply, departments must meet the following requirements:

• Be all-volunteer or mostly-volunteer (over 50%)
• Serve a population of 25,000 or less
• Have an annual revenue less than $250,000 for the most recently completed fiscal year
• Be located in the United States and be legally organized under state law
• Complete an essay demonstrating their need to receive the $10,000 award
