The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded the City of Vancouver’s Fire Marshal’s Office an approximately $224,446 Fire Prevention and Safety grant.
The grant will support the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Project Home Safe campaign to reduce the frequency and severity of residential fires through fire and life safety education and outreach. It is the fourth FEMA grant the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office has received since 2012 for its community risk reduction activities supporting fire and life safety.
“Project Home Safe unites zero fire ignition strategies that focus on stopping fire before it happens with reactionary fire safety education, like fire escape planning, free home safety surveys and smoke alarm installation,” said Vancouver Fire Marshal Heidi Scarpelli.
