The Illinois State Fire Marshal 2024 Small Equipment Grant Program

The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) recently announced the list of fire departments set to receive 2024 Small Equipment Grants. These grants will help upgrade each department's firefighting and ambulance equipment. It's important we support our fire departments and volunteers that keep our communities safe. These grants will certainly benefit the fire departments, especially in the rural communities. I'm thrilled to see several departments in the 108th District receive the OSFM Small Equipment Grants.
