he New Jersey Department of Community Affairs’ (DCA) Division of Local Government Services (DLGS) and Division of Fire Safety (DFS) today announced that the application period is open for the American Rescue Plan Firefighter Grant Program, which will help local and regional fire departments in New Jersey provide first responders with proper protective, cleaning, and sanitization equipment. The application announcement comes on the heels of Governor Murphy appropriating $10 million from the American Rescue Plan State Fiscal Recovery Funds last month to support the purchase of firefighter equipment during this time of heightened community need.

The First Responder Partnership Health Center (FRPHC) recently opened in Hamilton, near the intersection of I-195 and the Turnpike. It offers same day appointments for the widest range of primary care services available onsite anywhere in New Jersey (doctor visits, labs, X-rays, physical therapy, chiropractic, behavioral health and medications). It also has tele-medicine capabilities for those not living or working in the area. Copays are waived for those covered by the State Health Benefits Plan.
