FLY CAR GRANT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SUPPORT EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES CRISIS
Grant applications are now available online via the Dutchess County’s online grant portal and will be accepted until Friday, October 11, 2024. Award announcements are expected to be made in November 2024.
Dutchess County fire departments, rescue squads, and ambulance corps will be eligible to apply for up to $20,000 grant awards for life-saving equipment for their fly car vehicles. Eligible equipment expenses include equipment required by Title: Section 800.26 Emergency Ambulance Service Vehicles other than an ambulance. Other appropriate life saving equipment includes devices like the Lucas Chest Compression System, a portable mechanical device that provides automated compressions to help manage cardiac arrest.
In exchange for the equipment, the fly cars will feature branded, unified recruitment messaging on portions of the vehicles to encourage residents to consider career and volunteer opportunities. The branding will also include a centralized web address that will provide more information about the EMS field, including the paramedic program at Dutchess Community College.
Instructions and guidance for the grant application is available online. Applicants must ensure compliance with Dutchess County’s Procurement Policies and Procedures. For more information on the grant program and application process, please contact the Department of Emergency Response at 845-486-2080.
