“Ohio firefighters and first-responders work every day to protect our families,” said Brown, who released the information in a Monday moring press release. “We must support our first-responder organizations so that communities like Galion have the resources to shield families and homes from fire hazards.”  

The AFG Program supports fire departments across the country to ensure the safety of both first-responders and the public. The program provides funds for supplemental training, upgrades to protective equipment, facility modifications, and other supplies that protect firefighters and first-responders in moments of crisis.
