La. firefighters receive FEMA grant
The Advocate
ST. AMANT, La. — The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $110,960 grant to the St. Amant Volunteer Fire Department, Fire Chief James LeBlanc said Tuesday.
"It's the third year in a row we have received a FEMA grant," LeBlanc said.
"That's about $300,000 the parish didn't have to pay," he said of the three grants.
Other fire departments on the east bank of the parish also have received grants, bringing the total received in the past three years to more than $500,000, LeBlanc said.
The grant announced Tuesday will be used to buy firefighting protective gear, a thermal imagining camera that locates fires inside walls, complete training lesson plans with laptop computers, a PowerPoint system and training manuals, LeBlanc said.
