This week, I was pleased to announce the city of Buffalo Fire Department has been awarded a Federal grant of more than $8.9 million by the Department of Homeland Security's Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response program. With this critical support, the Buffalo Fire Department will be able to hire 50 additional firefighters. The purpose of this grant is to make certain that local fire departments are able to respond quickly to emergencies and at all hours. Buffalo is home to an incredible team of firefighters who work to protect our community from fires and other emergencies. Just 1 month ago, the department received a separate grant of $322,000 for equipment and training. This Federal grant funding will go a long way in strengthening the city's fire department and adding more dedicated personnel who work tirelessly to keep our community safe. ____________________
