Firefighting Support Grant Program

Pennsylvania American Water is proud to partner with the men and women who volunteer for and support our local fire departments. To show our appreciation, Pennsylvania American Water offers a Firefighting Support Grant Program to provide financial assistance to fire and emergency organizations serving communities in the company’s designated service areas. Grants are awarded to cover the costs associated with purchasing personal protective gear, communications equipment, firefighting tools, water handlingequipment, training and related activities/materials used to support fire protection.

Since launching the grant program in 2009, Pennsylvania AmericanWater has contributed more than $1 million to help hundreds of local fire departments purchase emergency gear, life-saving equipment, training materials and essential firefighting apparatus.
