Summary
BOSTON, Sept. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fire departments are not immune to the hardships created by the nation's economic crisis, as stations across the country continue to reel from a lack of necessary funding and resources. The Third Needs Assessment of the U.S. Fire Service, released in June by the National Fire Protection Association, underscores the continued gap in adequate funding, particularly for smaller community departments. To alleviate some of the burden fire departments face, Liberty Mutual Insurance is again presenting its Be Fire Smart Fire Safety Pledge Program, with $100,000 in grants available for fire departments across the country. Today through October 31, residents can visit BeFireSmart.com and take the short "Burning Questions" quiz to credit their local fire department. The ten departments across three population categories with the most completed quiz credits will each earn a $10,000 grant from Liberty Mutual.
