Public Employer Risk Management Association, Inc. (PERMA), in partnership with the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs (NYSAFC), has selected the winners for the 2020 Firefighter Risk Reduction MiniGrant Program.

This year, monies were awarded to five members of both NYSAFC (Department Members only) and PERMA for new gear washer and dryers, which remove carcinogens from turnout gear while maintaining gear durability.
The 2020 MiniGrant recipients are:
- Chilson Volunteer Fire Company (Essex County)
- Coventry Volunteer Fire Company (Chenango County)
- Greene Fire Department (Chenango County)
- North Greece Fire District (Monroe County)
- Vestal Fire Department (Broome County)
Congratulations to these fire departments and thank you to all who took time to submit an application! If you have any questions, please email Public Safety Risk Management Specialist Pete Frisoni of PERMA.
NYSAFC gratefully acknowledges PERMA for their continued partnership and efforts to reduce firefighter injury and illness.
