June 23, 2015

From our friends at the National Volunteer Fire Council:

The 2015 Georgia-Pacific Bucket Brigade grant application period is open for a few more weeks, and we would appreciate your help in making sure eligible departments in South Carolina know about the program.

These are no-match grants that fund needed gear and equipment for fire departments that are located within 30 miles of a Georgia-Pacific facility. Grants typically range between $2,500-$10,000 and can fund necessities such as turnout gear, breathing apparatus, water pumps, hoses and nozzles, and more. All applicants also receive a complimentary Department Membership in the NVFC, courtesy of Georgia-Pacific.

There are GP facilities in the following six locations in SC
