From the meeting
At its September 8, 2026 meeting, Chief Fontenault said Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) awards are expected by the end of September and the district is hoping for a favorable FEMA decision. The item is still at the funding-award stage, not a purchase award. It matters because any award would drive equipment or program spending once FEMA announces the results.
