Establishes "Volunteer Fire Company Assistance Program" in DCA to support operations and sustainability of volunteer fire companies; appropriates $10 million.

This bill establishes the "Volunteer Fire Company Assistance Program" in New Jersey's Division of Fire Safety, appropriating $10 million annually to support volunteer fire companies. It creates a grant program allowing these companies to apply for funding to cover emergency equipment (like protective gear, tools, and maintenance) and operational costs - excluding new vehicles or buildings. To receive funds, fire companies must submit detailed applications outlining how they'll use the money, and must report back within a year on expenditures and impacts. The program directly affects all volunteer fire departments statewide, aiming to improve their operational sustainability through targeted financial assistance.
