Establishes "Volunteer Fire Company Assistance Program" in DCA to support operations and sustainability of volunteer fire companies; appropriates $10 million.
This bill establishes a $10 million grant program to support volunteer fire companies in New Jersey by funding operational costs and sustainability efforts. The program, administered by the Division of Fire Safety, provides grants for emergency equipment like protective gear, tools, maintenance, and training (but not new vehicles or buildings). Volunteer fire companies must apply with specific details on equipment needs and how funds will improve operations, and they must report on fund usage and impact within a year. The Division will publish annual reports on program outcomes, including grant recipients, equipment purchased, and recommendations for future funding.
