THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 7, 2025 Page 21 GRANT | FROM PAGE 18 things such as protective gear, radios, and rescue equipment. This program serves as a comprehensive approach to mitigating modern firefighter health and safety risks.” “With this grant we will be able to outfit our Malden Firefighters with bail out bags and belts. These bail out bags and belts will help firefighters escape an unforeseen catastrophe on an upper floor of any building. They basically give firefighters an emergency exit out a window on upper floors. They will be a valuable addition,” said Malden Fire Chief Stephen J. Froio. “Other purchases include chainsaws for ventilation and scene lighting for night operations. All of this equipment will be valuable for firefighter safety in many incidents. Again, thank you for the grant funding, without it we would not be able to purchase this life saving equipment.” The Firefighter Safety Grant Program is funded by the Massachusetts Legislature.
