Grants for first responders

South Jersey Gas, a subsidiary of SJI, has kicked off its annual First Responders Grant Program.

Grants will be awarded for operations by first-responder departments. The program supports the critical safety training and lifesaving efforts conducted by local fire, police and EMS responders, and its grant funds are used to support necessary purchases, including fire hoses and medical supplies.

All paid or volunteer fire, emergency medical services and police departments serving at least one of the municipalities in the South Jersey Gas service area are eligible to apply. To review the official rules and guidelines – including a list of eligible towns – and submit an application, visit southjerseygas.com/community.

All submissions must be received by the company no later than Friday, Feb. 13, by 5 p.m. For more information about SJI and its subsidiaries, visit sjindustries.com.
