(New Brighton, PA) According to a Facebook post from The New Brighton Volunteer Fire Department today, that department has secured $869,416.95 in federal funding through the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Fiscal Year 2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.
The total approved project budget reaches $912,887.80 because it is combined with a local cost-share contribution of $43,470.85.
This grant award enables the purchase of a new fire engine to replace an aging apparatus that is currently in service.
This federal investment will directly support local emergency personnel by the upgrades of essential equipment and enhancements of overall public safety and fire response capabilities throughout the area of New Brighton and the municipalities that surround it.
New Brighton Borough and Fire Department officials also thanked Congressman Chris Deluzio and his staff for their ongoing advocacy and support in securing federal funding that is for the first responders of Western Pennsylvania.
