Hassan visits Berlin fire station to discuss relief

By Staff | Apr 10, 2021

BERLIN – U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan met with fire fighters at the Berlin Fire Station this week to discuss the additional relief that the Senator helped secure in the American Rescue Plan to support fire stations in New Hampshire. Senator Hassan led efforts to include $300 million in the American Rescue Plan for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant programs that provide resources to fire stations across the country to help with hiring, retention, and critical supplies. Additionally, as a result of a FEMA grant that the Senator joined in announcing last year, the Berlin Fire Department recently received new breathing apparatuses, which they began using this week.

The Senator also visited Bisson’s Sugar House to celebrate their 100th anniversary. The Senator surprised the family-run business with a framed copy of a statement that the Senator submitted to the official Congressional Record recognizing the business for this incredible achievement.
