Cranford Fire Department Earns Elizabethtown Gas Grant

CRANFORD, NJ — The Cranford Fire Department received one of 12 grants from Elizabethtown Gas. All 12 grants total nearly $52,000.

“The Elizabethtown Gas First Responders Grant Program enables our company to give back to organizations whose continued efforts keep our customers and communities safe,” said Christie McMullen, President and COO, Elizabethtown Gas. “As we come into the holiday season, we are proud to partner with this year’s winners to support their work and future initiatives.”

Through the First Responders Grant Program, Elizabethtown Gas provides critical support to help operations, improve safety measures and/or provide training at local first responder departments. This year, grants were awarded to first responder departments to support the purchase of critical resources, including gas detection meters, communications equipment, fire hoses and medical equipment. With applications from first responder departments that serve municipalities across the utility’s service area, Elizabethtown Gas conducts a thorough and competitive selection process to determine the grant recipients.

The First Responders Grant Program will be offered again in Fall 2022.
