Today, notifications started. My fire department and our Mutual Aid fire departments within our county have submitted three grant applications last spring. These grants are through DHS/FEMA and are called the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.

These are 'competitive' grants and are THE hardest grants to get awarded in this country. The priority grant is a regional application for all seven fire departments for interoperable radio communications equipment and training. The other two applications are for a fire truck and protective fire clothing.

Our county is rural and has the states largest nuclear power plant within our county which makes our risk many times higher than most departments in the country.

My prayer request is for those who read this and feel that we are worthy to offer a prayer for all three grant applications to be awarded. Especially the regional radio grant application. We are desperate for this equipment and will never be able to afford the high cost of these radios and vehicles ourselves as the fire departments are all dedicated volunteers.

Please pray for these grant applications to be awarded for the benefit of not just the firemen, but all the residents of our county.[/font]

In the name of our savior, Jesus Christ, Amen!
