U.S. SenatorsJoe Manchin (D-WV) andShelley Moore Capito (R-WV), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $1,335,292 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for fire departments across the state of West Virginia. This funding was made available through FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program. West Virginia's firefighters put themselves at risk over and over again to protect their fellow West Virginians without question and continue to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected every West Virginian and American. Our fire departments should never struggle to get the funding they need, and especially not during a public health crisis. I will continue to fight for our first responders to ensure they have the support they deserve, said Senator Manchin. Our firefighters are on the front lines each and every day in West Virginia, and they courageously provide services that we rely on to maintain safe communities. We must make certain that our fire departments receive the level of support they needespecially the departments in more rural areas of our stateso that they can continue to do their jobs safety and effectively. I am so thankful for our firefighters in West Virginia and will continue to advocate for the support they need through my role as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee,said Senator Capito.
