Five Monterey County fire agencies have received two regional grants to purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The two regional grant applications were approved for $1.7 million by the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, thanks to the strong support of U.S. Rep. Sam Farr (CA-20).
The fire agencies will be displaying the new equipment and recognizing Rep. Farr’s efforts at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the Coast Guard Pier, at the north end of Cannery Row in Monterey, California.
The fire agencies that purchased the new SCBA equipment include: Monterey County Regional Fire District, Monterey Fire Department, Salinas Fire Department, Seaside Fire Department, and the Big Sur Volunteer Fire Brigade.
