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.
This
grant is funded through FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant
(AFG) program. Eligible applicants include local fire departments,
fire districts, nonaffiliated EMS organizations, tribal fire
departments and State Fire Training Academies. The grant
applications are submitted from each agency directly to FEMA, where
the applications are reviewed and scored by fire service personnel
from throughout the nation.
