Fire grant for Princeton

Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Jim Long announced recently that the Princeton Fire Department has received an $11,784.00 grant from the State of North Carolina.

Before the check was presented, officials audited the Department's equipment to ensure that the department had complied with the grant requirements.

"Fire and rescue personnel are on the front lines of responding to emergencies and protecting us every day," said Commissioner Jim Long. "The bravery shown by these men and women should be supported with the best equipment and supplies needed to do their jobs right, and do it safely, but too often our volunteer fire departments struggle for money.

"I am proud that we have this grant program in place to provide departments like this one with much needed funds to continue their good work," Long went on to say. "We've done a lot of good with this money over the last nineteen years, and I intend to continue supporting our fire and rescue organizations across this great state. Congratulations to Princeton Volunteer Fire Department."

To date, the Department has received $108,303.92.
