Summary
The Kent Fire Department is chasing three FEMA grants — one that could pay for three firefighter/paramedic positions for three years, one for a kitchen fire safety training prop, and one for ten sets of turnout gear. If awarded, federal money would cover staffing and gear the city would otherwise fund itself.

Impact analysis
If awarded, the grants would bring federal funding for three firefighter/paramedic positions for three years plus safety equipment, reducing local costs.
Kent residents get better-staffed fire and EMS response and better-equipped firefighters without the full local price tag.
