Gorham Fire and EMS is excited to announce we were awarded a 2025 Assistance to Firefighter Grant for the installation of an exhaust capture system at the Gorham Station.
This system will allow us to significantly reduce the carcinogens caused by vehicle exhaust while being driven in and out of the station. This is an important step in our continued work to reduce the exposure of carcinogens to our members.
The awarded amount was $80,933 with a town share of $4,046. We thank Greg at First Responder Grants, LLC for his continued assistance with review of these grants prior to submittal.
