The Finance Committee and staff recommend that the Board of Supervisors accept and appropriate the Heavy Technical Rescue Scholarship Award in the amount of $1,695.

 

Summary:

The Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management (FREM) submitted a request to the Virginia Department of Fire Programs (VDFP) for scholarship assistance under the Heavy Technical Rescue (HTR) Scholarship Program.   Funding was approved in the amount of $1,695 to partially pay for the tuition to send a Firefighter to the Structural Collapse Technician School.  The Firefighter attended the course and successfully completed it which is a prerequisite for obtaining the reimbursement scholarship.  There is no requirement for the locality to continue to participate in the project beyond the scholarship award period.    The HTR Scholarship program does not contain a supplanting clause.
