EMS Response Equipment
The mission of the Emergency Response Equipment Grant Program is to support rural areas in AgStar’s service area by funding emergency response equipment for volunteer fire, rescue or ambulance departments.
Emergency response departments in rural areas are struggling on shoestring budgets, and many lack adequate and up-to-date equipment. Even though many of these departments have the essentials, they can't always afford new technologies to upgrade or replace old equipment. This grant program is designed to help alleviate some of those financial constraints. This is an opportunity to fund, on a modest scale, some local departments.
