Danville has been awarded a 222 thousand dollar grant to help firefighters. Back in February, Danville applied for the Assistance to Firefighters grant, and it was approved by FEMA. The grant would cover 90% of the training and personal protective equipment expenses for six recently hired firefighters. The AFG Grant requires a 10% local match by the City of Danville just over 22 thousand dollars.
The Public Services Committee on Tuesday will act on changing the budget to show this grant.
