The Phoenix VFD was fortunate to receive much needed funding from 2 grant programs. The fist grant was the Assistance to firefighter grant ( AFG ). This grant enable the department to purchase a turnout gear extractor and drying cabinet and 10 complete sets of turnout gear. The turnout gear extractor is a washing machine specifically manufactured for cleaning contaminants encountered from incidents from our gear. The drying cabinet enables drying gear and hose safely and quicker than former drying methods. Phase 1 of this grant project ( pictured in this post ) has been completed and is in service. Thank you to JP Electrical for once again helping us with Electrical work needed and Precision Metal Fabricators for the vent work for drying cabinet. Phase 2 of this grant project will be receiving and placing into service the 10 new sets of turnout gear. Total funding for the grant was $68,357.14. It would be impossible for the department to financially fund a project like this on our own.![]()
The second grant the department received is the Local Share Account ( LSA ). This grant will enable the department to install a new roof on the station and install solar panels. The installation of the solar panels will dramatically decrease one of our larger monthly utility bills. This project will start sometime this spring. ![]()
The department continues and applies for as many grants as possible. However with more departments seeking funds, grants have become overwhelmed and competitive to receive. ![]()
We want to thank everyone for your continued financial support through your donations and fundraisers. The department strives to provide the best and most up to date equipment to serve you.
Its nice to receive positive reviews of our fish fry's. Our members put in a lot of time and effort into providing the best meals possible. Thank you all for your support and hope to see you again in the coming weeks of our fish fry's.
Just a reminder, our fish fry's start this Friday February 13th, 4 to 7pm. Take out or eat in. Cash or debit/credit cards accepted.
The officers and members of our department send our sincere condolences and prayers to the family of Life Member and LT Christopher Miller. Also to all of the members and families of the Portage Volunteer Fire Company
