Credit Union ONE Applauds Federal Support for Local Firefighters

Ferndale, Michigan – Credit Union ONE is happy to be one of the first to jump on the bandwagon and applaud federal support for local firefighters.

U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin made the announcement of federal support for the Sterling Heights Fire Department to help improve operations and safety.

Senator Stabenow said, "Across Michigan, our firefighters provide critical, courageous service to communities like Sterling Heights. This grant provides the resources they need to perform their duties safely and protect the public."

Senator Levin said, "If we want to depend on our first responders to be there when emergency strikes, they must be able to depend on us for the support they need. This grant will provide that support, and help keep Michiganians safe."

The department will receive a $232,548 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grant program.

The Assistance to Firefighters Grant program is a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
