Each year, privately owned corporations offer various grant opportunities to fire departments throughout the country.  Recently the Fire and Rescue Department was invited by Jeff Allen, president of Dryer Vent Wizard of Middle TN, to apply for one of their corporate grants in the amount of $500.  The grants are given specifically to fund fire prevention efforts in our community. 

It would be up to our department to determine how the money would be spent, as long as it is used to directly enhance our fire prevention and public education efforts.  This could include the purchase of educational materials, curriculum, or efforts like the Citizens Fire Academy. There is no required match or other obligation on the part of the City. 
 
Please contact the Fire Chief or Fire Marshal with any questions you may have.
