From the State Fire Commissioner's Office the Thorndale Fire Company has been awarded a grant totaling $11,968.95 through the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
In late 2009 the Thorndale Fire Company lost our Back Up Generator the grant and money we will be receiving from Caln Township will be used to offset the cost of replacing the generator total cost of the project will be over $ 23,000.00 with a upgrade of the system we will be able to power major components needed in case of a power outage.
Under the grant program, $22 million will be allocated for Pennsylvania fire companies and $3 million for ambulance service units. More than 2,700 volunteer organizations took advantage of the $25 million program during past years.
This grant program is a great asset to all Fire and Ambulance companies throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and we would like to thank State Fire Commissioner Mann and his staff for their assistance in providing this program annually to our volunteers.
