The Hanover Fire Department is pleased to announce that we have taken delivery of a fire prevention kitchen prop. This prop has been purchased with funds from a grant award through FM Global Fire Prevention Grant. This award, totaling $4,375, enabled the Hanover Fire Department to purchase a kitchen fire safety prop for use during fire and life safety education deliveries throughout the community. This new prop will complement an existing prop that was previously purchased in 2019 through funds received by another FM Global Fire Prevention Grant.
Through its Fire Prevention Grant Program, FM Global awards grants to fire departments, as well as national, state, regional, local, and community organizations worldwide (organizations that best demonstrate a need for funding) where funds will have the most demonstrable impact on preventing fire, or mitigating the damage it can quickly cause.
The Hanover Fire Department has made a commitment to providing meaningful fire and life safety education programs to the community. Almost exclusively funded through a multitude of federal, state, and private grants, these programs highlight the hazards of fire and other unsafe behaviors to the public, specifically focusing on those who are most at risk, school-aged children and our seniors.
