Description
The City of St. Joseph, The City of Benton Harbor, and Benton Charter Township are three separate municipalities that all share common borders.
Each of their fire departments services a very diverse economic, social, and regional area, however all three departments work together and have active mutual aid and automatic aid agreements.
Because regional grants are given preference when reviewed by FEMA for funding, the three municipalities reviewed their individual fire department needs and collaborated on the joint Assistance to Firefighters Grant Application.
The City of St. Joseph, Benton Harbor and Benton Charter Township submitted a request for funding to replace all outdated SCBA and associated equipment for a total of $708,000. Each municipality's fire departments has slightly different equipment needs, therefore total funding will be appropriated accordingly. If awarded, the grant funding will allow all three departments to benefit from bulk rate pricing, enhance interoperability of equipment between departments and fire ground safety. All three municipalities have experienced significant budget cuts in the past few years making procurement of this equipment difficult on their own.
This grant would allow the municipalities to purchase equipment and result in a step towards further collaboration and consolidation of fire services for Southwest Michigan.
The application was submitted in December 2013. The City expects to receive a response within 6 months from the date of submission.
