Over $3.2 million in federal funding is coming to assist fire departments across New York state, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced Monday.

Funding will go toward providing protective gear, training and supplies to emergency personnel in 29 departments. It also will aid with wellness programs and upgrading facilities.

“From Poughkeepsie to Waterloo, our brave firefighters are always on the front lines risking their lives to protect our communities,” Schumer said in a statement. “These courageous first responders deserve all the federal support possible to ensure they have the adequate training, protective gear, and equipment they need to keep themselves and New Yorkers across the state safe. I’ve fought my whole career to deliver resources for New York’s firefighters, and today’s over $3.2 million will keep New York’s dedicated firefighters prepared to take on any emergency.”

The funding was administered through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.

“New York’s firefighters work tirelessly to protect our communities,” Gillibrand said in a statement. “This federal funding will provide New York’s firefighters with the essential training, equipment and supplies they need to respond to emergency situations safely and efficiently. I will continue to working to ensure New York’s fire departments are well-equipped to provide protection for our communities.”
