(WENY) - Several fire departments across New York State will be receiving federal funding.

Locally, the city of Hornell will receive $111,000 and Enfield Volunteer Fire Company will receive $107,000. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand said Tuesday that fire departments across the state will receive $1.2 million dollars.

The funding will be used to provide protective gear, training, and supplies to emergency crews.

From Hornell to Hamburg, our brave firefighters are always on the front lines risking their lives to protect our communities," said Senator Schumer. "These courageous first responders deserve all the federal support possible to ensure they have the equipment they need to keep themselves and our communities safe. I've fought my whole career to deliver resources for New York's firefighters, and today's funding will keep our fire department prepared to take on any emergency."

"New York's firefighters work tirelessly to protect our communities," said Senator Gillibrand. "This federal funding will provide them with the equipment, training, and resources they need to stay safe as they respond to emergency situations. I will continue working to ensure that New York's fire departments have what they need to continue defending our communities on the front lines."
