Energy Transfer First Responder Fund Energy Transfer First Responder Fund Empowering Emergency Responders in Our Communities Supporting Our Neighbors and Those Who Protect Them With approximately 140,000 miles of pipelines and associated assets in 44 states, Energy Transfer is committed to the safe, environmentally sound and efficient operation of our pipeline systems.

Part of our commitment to safe operations involves building relationships with emergency responders who protect and serve the communities where we operate.

Established in 2016, Energy Transfer’s First Responder Fund has helped emergency response organizations enhance their rescue capabilities by helping to fund trainings; replacing or upgrading rescue equipment, including personal protective equipment and turnout gear; purchasing rescue engines and all-terrain vehicles; upgrading facilities; and more.

To date, our First Responder Fund has supported the brave men and women protecting our communities through more than $2. 25 million in grants. What the First Responder Fund Covers The First Responder Fund is designed to assist local fire departments, emergency medical services, police departments and other eligible first responder organizations located near our energy infrastructure.

The program aims to address the needs of these organizations by providing funding for: Firefighter, emergency responder equipment Modifications to stations and facilities First responder/emergency medical responder training National Incident Management System (NIMS)-Incident Command (ICS) Hazardous materials (hazmat) Firefighter personal equipment including: Boots, pants, coats, gloves, hoods, goggles, helmets, and coveralls American National Standard Institute (ANSI-approved retro-reflective gear) PPE for hazardous materials and other specialized incidents EMS activities (coats, trousers and jumpsuits must meet NFPA or OSHA standards) Supporting First Responders is Important Many first responder organizations, particularly those that are all volunteer, face financial challenges.

Rising equipment costs and increasingly stringent federal standards make it difficult to maintain and upgrade essential gear. The First Responder Fund helps bridge this gap, enabling organizations to continue their vital work without compromising safety or effectiveness.
