The Raphine Volunteer Fire Company has submitted a request for grant funds under the 2009 FEMA Assistance To Firefighters Grant Program.  We have been lucky and recieved grants in 2007 and 2008 and hope to go another.  This year we requested funds for 3600' of 5" supply hose, new turnout gear for every member, upgrades for all of our air packs, two RIT packs, and a turnout gear dryer.  The grant is a 95/5 grant to where they will cover 95% of the cost.  Good luck to all and thanks for your support.
