WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman announced today that the Bernalillo Fire and Rescue Department will receive a $141,742 federal grant.

The funding comes from the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, which can be used to purchase emergency response equipment, personal protective equipment, firefighting and emergency vehicles, and for training.

"This investment will help ensure that the Bernalillo Fire and Rescue Department has the tools it needs to continue serving and protecting area residents," Bingaman said.
