Last week, two grant-awarding agencies announced recipients from the 88th District.
The Illinois State Fire Marshal awarded their 2026 Small Equipment Grants to fire districts/departments and EMS providers across Illinois. Thanks to the passage of SB 2645, volunteer fire departments may be added to this list of qualifying departments, pending the Governor’s signature, and I was glad to support the bill.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources awarded $495,000 in federal grants to 73 volunteer departments across the state, which included three departments from the 88th district.
Congratulations to the recipients! I thank you for your continued commitment to keeping our communities safe.
