Senator Marshall Applauds USDA Funding Grant for Volunteer Fire Departments

Washington – On Friday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) issued the following statement after the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) were released for disbursement.

“I want to thank USDA Secretary Rollins for her thorough review of the funding and allocation to our state fire agencies,” said Senator Marshall. “These funds are essential for maintaining safe communities and supporting our volunteer firefighters in their dedicated service.”

These funds are distributed to local volunteer fire departments, based upon annual applications for funding, so they can purchase essential equipment, improve their training, and increase their capacity to fight fires and protect property and lives.
