Have any of your dept. recieved a grant? How much did you ask for and how much did you recieve? What are you going to use the money for?
We just recieved $30,000 grant to buy gear. We had requested $50,000 to buy 30 full sets but DHS didn'y think that we really needed all that gear. :/

Yeah this is the first year we have had "luck" I guess some money is better than none though. We are putting in for a truck this year.

I got Turnout Gear and SCBA for Buckner a couple years ago.
Just got Turnout Gear for Coello this year, all funded within the first 3 rounds every year.
2009 we are asking for and SCBA fill station, compressor and cascade. WE may also be asking for a brush truck. Trying for a grant from the state on a station now.

When Coello got the new truck (engine) a few years ago, was that grant related?
