Woodburn Fire Department awarded 2014 FEMA grant

WOODBURN — Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG) submitted six FEMA Fire Grant applications in 2014, and to date Lorimor, and now Woodburn, have been awarded funds.

Woodburn’s award is $24,762. This grant will provide properly fitted clothing that is safe and meets modern standards for the members of the department in need of new clothing.

The next round of FEMA AFG applications will be due this fall, although no date has been set.

SICOG has submitted nearly 100 AFG applications since 2000 and more than $2 million in AFG funds have come to the region because of this effort. Now is the time for fire departments to identify needs, inventory assets, and start working on cost quotes for your needs.
