DHS Provides More Than $490 Million To Firefighters
April 9, 2007
More than $492.3 million will be awarded in 2007 in Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) for fire departments and nonaffiliated emergency management organizations.
AFG awards assist first-responder organizations in purchasing response equipment, personal protective equipment, and vehicles. Awards are allocated through two AFG programs:
The Operations and Safety program prioritizes funding for activities such as training, equipment, personal protective equipment, wellness and fitness and health and safety modifications to stations and facilities.
The Vehicle Acquisition program prioritizes funding for assets such as brush trucks, tankers and tenders, rescue vehicles, ambulances, aerials, foam units and fireboats.
AFG awards are determined on a competitive basis. Fire service professionals representing the nine major fire service organizations select the applications that best fulfill AFG program priorities.
Applicants will be encouraged to submit projects that involve more than one jurisdiction and further integrate regional response capabilities.
