Pennsylvania American Water announced today that 68 emergency
service organizations across the Commonwealth received grants
totaling approximately $50,000 through its annual Firefighting
Support Grant Program. The company awards the grants to support
local fire departments and emergency services in purchasing
protective gear, lifesaving equipment, firefighting apparatus and
training materials.
“We are proud to support the critically important service
provided by our communities’ emergency responders,” said
Pennsylvania American Water President Jeffrey L. McIntyre. “At a

departments, our Firefighting Support Grants enable us to partner

the line to protect our customers’ homes and businesses.”
