Plympton’s Fire Dept. grant proceeds

March 18, 2022 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Over the past several months the Plympton Fire Department has been awarded multiple public safety grants.  According to Chief Silva, “grant money is the backbone of a department our size.  Without these programs we would not be able to provide innovative and needed services to the residents and visitors to our town.  There is simply no way a town of our size could afford to keep pace with the ever-changing challenges for Public Safety, while keeping our members who are serving the public safe.”This year alone we have been awarded:

• A 2021 Custom Forestry / Brush Unit  FEMA $240,000.00

• 12 Self Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with extra cylinders   FEMA    $84,000.00

• 19 Personal Thermal Imaging Cameras DFS     $12,000.00

  • 9 Personal Carbon Monoxide Meters

• Public Safety Drone with Training   VFA       $1,900.00

• Joint Fire Police Training with equipment CSTF     $11,000.00

• Haz Mat (CBRN) Masks and Filters  CESF    $11,800.00

• 2 Multi Band Portable Radios EMPG      $2,700.00

• 4 year recruitment and retention program funding FEMA  $150,000.00

• 1000 COVID Home Test Kits  Ply County   $16,000.00

• Student and Senior S.A.F.E. DFS     $6,230.00

TOTAL   $523,830.00

Thank you to our team here at Plympton Fire Department for all the hard work and diligence for obtaining these awards!
