Montgomery County considers SAFER grant for 36 full-time fire department positions due to population growth and increased demand.
Montgomery County is considering a resolution to fund 36 full-time operational positions for the Volunteer Fire Department using the Department of Homeland Security's Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant. This move is in response to the county's rapid population growth and increased demand for fire services outside the city of Clarksville limits. If approved and granted, funding will run from fiscal year 2025 to 2028.
