Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 10, 2026 GRANT | FROM PAGE 4 grant not only affects the firefighters on the job themselves, but also the greater Malden community as a whole in keeping the citizens safe.” “This investment will provide our firefighters with the resources they need to respond to emergencies with greater protection and efficiency,” said House Chair Ultrino. "This funding is a vital step in ensuring the safety and well-being of both our first responders and the community they serve.” “Firefighters keep our communities safe and secure,” said House Chair Lipper-Garabedian. “They risk their lives to help others. It is essential that we equip them with the resources that protect them while they carry out their work. That’s why I’ve supported statewide investment in the FY26 Firefighter Safety Equipment Grant program and why I’m pleased to see the Malden Fire Department receive state funding to invest in equipment that safeguards these brave men and women.” “In these continued challenging times, I appreciate our State Legislative Delegation prioritizing public safety,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “This funding will provide essential safety equipment for our Fire Department, ensuring our firefighters have the protection they need while serving and safeguarding our community.” “This grant will allow us to purchase an airbag system for extrication that is more effective and easier to deploy,” said Fire Chief Stephen Froio. “We are also replacing a thermal imaging camera that was damaged. The remaining funds will be used for personal protective equipment that is non-fluorinated to meet the new Massachusetts General Laws.” The Firefighter Safety Grant Program is funded by the Massachusetts Legislature.
