Rep. Cole Announces Fire Grant Application Period

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Congressman Tom Cole announced that beginning this week fire departments can begin to apply for Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grants. Applications for these grants, administered by the Department of Homeland Security, will be accepted from March 6, 2006 until April 7, 2006.

"Firefighters in Oklahoma have been especially busy over the past few months helping to contain the wildfires that have been ravaging our state. These grants will help them purchase equipment and other resources to help them do their job and keep us safe," Congressman Tom Cole said. "I encourage all eligible departments to apply for these federal funds."
