What if a fire department shares a facility with a police department? Is that space considered eligible for a renovation?
If a station has multiple disciplines (e.g., law enforcement and fire), the space that is dedicated to law enforcement is not eligible, and the cost for common space between the two disciplines would be pro-rated. Top The Program Guidance lists EMS organizations as ineligible. How does this affect departments that share facilities with Emergency Medical Service departments? How does this affect departments that offer Emergency Medical Services through the fire department? If a fire department provides EMS services as well as fire suppression, then the space dedicated to EMS is eligible. However, if the EMS organization is a separate entity, i.e., is not part of the fire department, then the space dedicated to EMS is ineligible – such space can be a part of the project, but not chargeable to the grant.
