Bensenville Fire Protection District receives 2024 OSFM Small Equipment Grant of $26,000.
The Bensenville Fire Protection District is proud to have received the 2024 Small Equipment Grant given by The Office of State Fire Marshals Office in Illinois. The much needed grant will go towards the purchasing of battery operated Genesis E-Tools. The total purchase is $45,000 for one set of extrication tools including; A spreader, Cutter, Telescoping Ram, and chargers all operated by battery. The grant covers more than half the purchase which allows us to be more mobile during extrication, lessens the noise on scene for better communications, decreases tripping hazards, and reduces injuries to our firefighters. These tools will be mounted on the New Fire Engine 108.
