The Vision 20/20 Project, a national strategic agenda for fire loss prevention, announced it has received a grant for $20,000 USD from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions, Inc. With this grant, Vision 20/20 will create Community Risk Reduction (CRR) state teams, impacting over 500 fire service personnel. Vision 20/20 will help develop strategic plans in Illinois and South Carolina to improve public safety through risk assessments, home safety visits, smoke alarm installations, and community policing partnerships to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries of civilians and firefighters.

The Motorola Solutions Foundation awards grants each year to organizations, such as The Vision 20/20 Project, which support and advance public safety programs and technology & engineering education initiatives. This year, programs that served underrepresented populations, including females, people with disabilities and veterans were prioritized.
