Robbinsville (NJ) Fire Department Awarded $22K Federal Grant

Township firefighters will receive federal funding to update their medical equipment, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith recently announced. Smith said the Robbinsville Fire Department will be awarded a $22,740 grant from the Department of Homeland Security, through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program.

Smith said in a statement the grant will be used to purchase four defibrillators and one CPR device. The money will cover about 95 percent of the total cost, replacing the township's current outdated equipment, he said.

In 2000, Smith helped create the AFG Program through his involvement with the Congressional Fire Services Caucus. Robbinsville received a grant of over $100,000 in 2015 through the program.
