Bingaman: Angel Fire Fire Department to Benefit from Federal Funds

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Angel Fire Fire Department has been awarded a $108,380 grant to help the department hire additional firefighters.

"The funding awarded today will help ensure that the Angel Fire Fire Department is adequately staffed to meet the needs of the community," Bingaman said.

Funding was awarded though the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Assistance to Firefighters - Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program.

Bingaman is a strong supporter of the Assistance to Firefighters programs, which provide much-needed federal assistance to local fire departments for equipment, training, and fire prevention campaigns.
