WESTBOROUGH, MA —Westborough firefighters received another grant this month to help strengthen the department's emergency preparedness.
The Westborough Fire Department has secured a $5,000 Fire Service Grant from commercial property insurer Factory Mutual Insurance Company to bolster its pre-incident planning efforts, the department announced on Monday.
While officials didn't say exactly how the money will be spent, FM provides grants to fire departments and other organizations that demonstrate a funding need and the potential to improve emergency preparedness, property protection and community resilience.
The Rhode Island-based company specializes in commercial and industrial property insurance and engineering-driven loss prevention. It has supported fire service organizations through grants for nearly 50 years.
This comes less than a week after local officials announced that Westborough was awarded $4,001 for the Student Awareness of Fire Education program and $1,955 for the Senior SAFE program in fiscal 2027. The grants are meant to support fire and life safety education for school-aged children and older residents.
