Firefighters and investigators make major sacrifices to keep our communities, property and families safe, and we owe it to them to always have their backs.
As part of the Fire Protection Grant announced in Budget 2024, we’re allocating $10 million to provide municipal fire departments with support to purchase essential equipment and make infrastructure upgrades that will keep our firefighters safe, while they’re keeping us safe.
Firefighters die of cancer at a rate up to four times higher than the general population.
The Fire Protection Grant will support over 374 municipal fire departments this year, enabling them to implement cancer prevention measures.
