This program has been made entirely possible through the award of a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant, a federal program funded by FEMA. It provides financial assistance to our District to introduce young adults between the ages of 14 and 18 with an interest to community service and firefighting.
