Assistance To Firefighters Grant Program

Aid for New England Firefighters

Program Overview

Nationally, the fiscal year (FY) 2007 Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) awards, which will be distributed in phases, will ultimately provide over $490 million to fire departments and nonaffiliated emergency medical service organizations throughout the country.

AFG awards aim to enhance response capabilities and to more effectively protect the health and safety of the public with respect to fire and other hazards. The grants enable local fire departments and emergency medical services organizations to purchase or receive training, conduct first responder health and safety programs, and buy equipment and response vehicles. AFG also supports regional projects in which multiple organizations serving more than one local jurisdiction benefit directly from activities implemented with grant funds.

Since the program was initiated in 2001, New England firefighters have received more than $200 million.
