FIRE Grants Positive Impact

The “Fire Act” has made a direct and positive impact to so many cities and towns across America. Protecting our citizens and employees is “Mission Critical” for our first responders, many of who work at United Plastic Fabricating.
As a Captain in my home town fire department and President of United Plastic Fabricating I can personally attest to the success’s of the Fire Act Grant. The Fire Act Grant provided funding for replacement of a 30 year old pumper and new SCBA for the department. This equipment is designed to save lives and protect the first responder. The funding also helped United Plastic Fabricating grow our jobs to 275 employees as the number one fire tank supplier in the industry.
We must continue to provide the necessary funding so our first responders can be successful in their mission. At the same time, continue helping the many companies that supply fire training and fire products create and maintain jobs.
