E�.pHT�,lN�Ok r,µE se`tv,cEs STEPHRN D. COAN STATE FIRE MARSHAL I am pleased to inform you that yourFY 2014 Student Awareness of Fire Education (S;A.F,E.) and Senior SAFE grant applications have been approved for funding. The Mansfield Fire Department has been awarded $4686 for the S.A.U. grant and $3018 for Senior SAFE. Be sure to alert your treasurer and to check with thorn to ensure receipt of the funds. We expect the funds to be electronically distributed on or about December 20, 2013. All grantees are required to submit the FY 2013 year-end report to DFS by December 31, 2013. If there are any unexpended funds, the grantee may apply for a one-time 6-inonth extension, which will be part of the year-end report form. At the close of the single 6-month extension, all unexpended funds must be returned to the Commonwealth. At this time any prior year remaining funds must be returned to the Commonwealth. Nineteen years ago, the fire service advocated to the legislature for the creation of the S.A.F.E. program. Since that time average annual child fire deaths have been reduced by 70%. In FY 2014, the S.A.F.E. program was expanded to offer funds to local communities in support of senior fire prevention training. Seniors are the most vulnerable of populations at risk of fire related deaths. This program is aimed at educating seniors on fire prevention, general home safety and how to be better prepared in the event of a fire. It is our hope that with this opportunity we can recreate the success with our older population that we have had with children. I thank you for your commitment to the S.A.F.E, program and for your continuing efforts to promote fire prevention for all citizens. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Cynthia Ouellette at (978) 567- 3381 or the S.A.F.E. staff at (978) 567-3388. Sincerely, Stephen D.
