Governor Holcomb is putting $10 million into new personal protective equipment for volunteer firefighters in the state.

Holcomb’s 2023 Next Level Agenda allocated nearly $18 million for firefighters to get new PPE and training facilities across the state. The $10 million ill purchase 940 complete sets of PPE and self-contained breathing apparatuses to benefit 66 fire departments in every Indiana fire district.
