Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Fire Grants
AFG Success Stories
This page contains a synopsis of a fire department that has been awarded an AFG Grant.

Livermore Fire Protection District
Livermore, Colorado

What They Bought With the Grant:

  • Custom Built Kenworth 2000 Gallon Water Tender

    How the Grant Has Helped:

    "Twenty-four years was the average age of all our fire apparatus prior to getting the new water tender."
    Chief Larry Peterson
    In January 2005, the Livermore Fire Protection District in Colorado took delivery of a new custom built Kenworth 2000 gallon water tender. The vehicle is a result of a grant from FEMA's USFA 2003 Assistance to Firefighter's Grant Program. FEMA paid 90% or $117,720 of the cost of the fully outfitted water tender. Chief Larry Peterson said, "Water is scarce in our jurisdiction and we did not own a water tender. It's nice to have a new vehicle. Twenty four years was the average age of all our fire apparatus prior to getting the new tender."
