Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Corona Fire Department has been awarded a $56,571 grant through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Assistance to Firefighters Grant program.

Funding from this program can be used for training, equipment, personal protective equipment, and modifications to fire stations and facilities. 

"This funding will help ensure that the Corona Fire Department is properly trained and equipped to respond to the community's fire and safety needs," Bingaman said.

Bingaman is a strong supporter of the Assistance to Firefighters programs, which provide much-needed federal assistance to local fire departments for equipment, training, and fire prevention campaigns.
