(COURTESY OF JOHN CRONIN)</figcaption></figure>BOSTON — Six fire departments in the Worcester Middlesex state Senate District will receive funding for fire safety education directed towards the most vulnerable age-groups in the district, according to a statement by Sen. John J. Cronin, D-Fitchburg, who chairs the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security.“Fire safety education can make a life-saving difference, whether it’s teaching a child what to do when a smoke alarm sounds or helping an older adult identify fire hazards at home,” said Cronin. “These grants give our local firefighters the resources to bring those lessons into classrooms, senior centers, and residents’ homes, helping people of all ages stay safe. I’m grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration, EOPSS, DFS, and our local fire departments for their commitment to preventing tragedies before they happen.”Six fire departments, including Fitchburg, Groton, Leominster, Lunenburg, Townsend and Westford, will receive funding through the SAFE and Senior SAFE grant programs.These programs provide funding to local fire departments for equipment and overtime costs associated with delivering age-appropriate fire and life safety education.Child fire deaths have declined 80% since SAFE began and older-adult fire death rates have fallen from 1.8 to 1.4 per 100,000 residents. The funding is administered through the administration of Gov. Maura Healey, the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, and the Department of Fire Services. A total of $1.8 million in grants were awarded through the FY27 Student Awareness of Fire Education and Senior SAFE Grant programs.</div></body>
