Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Fire Department has been awarded $263,725 in federal funding from the Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) after an arduous application process. These funds were specifically awarded to replace Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units that have reached their end of life.
The SCBA are utilized by firefighters anytime the air quality is dangerous to their life and health. This includes a fire, smoke conditions, hazardous material release, or a carbon monoxide incident to name a few.
As this equipment is mandatory, therefore these funds will greatly offset the cost to taxpayers.
Washington takes trillions, then expects an applause when they send you back pennies.
Too many moocher states…
Too Many Redistribution/Equity politicians voted into office by your Liberal Neighbors…
I find the phrase “moocher states” to be one of most offensive phrases in politics.
Thank you chief John Judge. You’re the best!
The fire department is so politically motivated.
Amazing,
