The Fairfield Glade Fire Department received a Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training grant from the State Fire Marshal’s Office of just over $19,000.

Created through legislation overseen by Governor Bill Lee and approved by the Tennessee General Assembly, the Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant Program awards grant monies to volunteer fire departments across Tennessee’s three Grand Divisions. The grants will be used to purchase firefighting equipment or to help volunteer departments meet local matching requirements for federal equipment grants.
