This community project funding request passed in H.R. 4367, The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act. “When Rhode Islanders are in danger, they deserve swift assistance, and this federal funding for the Warwick Fire Department will improve emergency response times to keep Warwick residents safe,” said Rep. Seth Magaziner. “I am committed to supporting first responders in Congress and ensuring they are equipped with the tools they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. While I could not vote for H.R. 4367, which contained funding cuts in other areas that I disagree with, I am glad that my funding request for the Warwick EOC was included.” “The Warwick Fire Department is grateful for Representative Magaziner’s efforts to help secure federal funding to improve delivery of life-saving services for our communities,” said Warwick Fire Department Chief Peter McMichael. “This funding will help equip local first responders with the resources they need to respond to emergencies quickly and effectively.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
