Firefighters Grant Application Period Closes on Friday, October 26

FEMA has announced that the Assistance to Firefighters Grant open application period closes Friday, October 26 at 5: 00 PM EST.

According to the FEMA website, “the primary goal of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and nonaffiliated emergency medical service organizations. Since 2001, AFG has helped firefighters and other first responders obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training and other resources necessary for protecting the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards.”
