The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry announces the Volunteer Fire Grant Assistance Program. Deadline for application submission is April 30, 2021 by 4 PM CST. Click here to learn more about eligibility requirements or to find the application.
Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Program provides grants to volunteer fire departments for training or equipment purchases for Illinois communities with fewer than 10,000 residents. The types of projects that have been funded in previous grants include radios, hose, SCBA, turn out gear, wildland PPE, hand tools, chainsaws, backpack blowers, modifying federal excess vehicles and equipment and other equipment.
Half of home heating fires are reported during the months of December, January and February. Heating equipment is involved in one in every seven home fires and one in every five home fire deaths.
Cold temperatures mean Illinoisans will be turning up their thermostats to stay warm this winter. The Office of the State Fire Marshal encourages residents to have their furnaces checked and to make sure carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detectors are working.
