Assistance to Firefighters Grant Now Open

The 2015 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Application Period opened on December 7th and will close January 15th.
 
The three main categories include: 1) operations and safety; 2) regional projects; and 3) vehicle acquisition. FEMA's goal is to award 2,500 grants totaling $306M. 
 
Officials urge fire departments that are looking to apply for this round of funding to read the Notice of Funding Opportunity, which outlines all criteria and serves as a worksheet for grant project management. The PDF copy is available here: http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1448980691064-3761c274d7e1993ad2d220aa8c4e4373/FY15_AFG_NOFO_11_30_15.pdf.
