House of Delegates Member Jim Butler made a visit to the station this past Monday night to award us with a Local Economic Development Assistance Grant. Chief Adkins contacted Delegate Butlers to see if any local funding could be allocated toward the fire department.

This funding will be utilized for new Multi-Band, Multi-Protocol Handheld Radios. These radios will allow us to communicate directly with Putnam & Cabell Counties and can be integrated into the statewide interoperable radio network. This will result in improved communication capabilities with mutual and automatic aid departments during emergency situations.

We would like to extend our greatest gratitude to all parties involved that allowed this funding to be available.

The hard work of the grants committee at Valley Fire & Rescue has paid off well. Today we received news that our proposal for the SAFER grant had been approved for the full amount requested!

This grant will provide us resources to assist in recruiting more active firefighters in order to better serve our community. It will be utilized to cover stipends, cost of training & some related expenses, new personal protective equipment, and advertisement material!

The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants (SAFER) was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, “front line” firefighters available in their communities.

We would like to thank our grant writing committee for their tremendous work & dedication in getting us this award!
