Hoyer Announces SAFER Funding for
Prince George’s County
Fire and Medical Services Department

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) announced today that the Prince George’s County Fire and Medical Services Department has been awarded a $3,567,229 grant through the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Program. The award funds will be used to support the hiring of firefighters and the recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters.

“I am very proud to represent the brave men and women of the Prince George’s County Fire and Medical Services Department, and I am exceptionally pleased to announce this funding for the department,” said Congressman Hoyer. “As co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, I have made providing support and federal funding for firefighters a top priority. Our firefighters put their lives on the line each and every day to protect our communities, and in return, we must work to ensure they have the resources necessary to safely execute their jobs.”

“I thank Chief Benjamin M. Barksdale for the critical work his department performs for the people of Prince George’s County, and congratulate him and the department on this funding,” continued Congressman Hoyer. “I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to protect our communities.”

As co-chair of the Congressional Fire Caucus, Congressman Hoyer took a lead role in helping to establish the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program and the SAFER Program, and each year he leads a letter with Members of Congress to the Appropriations Committee to ensure adequate funding is appropriated for the program. Over $15 million has been awarded to Fifth District fire departments since the program was established. Click here for more information.
