Questions
When do fire department grants close?

FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grants, with SAFER for staffing and Fire Prevention and Safety grants, share one application window each spring.
Can volunteer fire departments apply?
Yes. AFG and SAFER accept volunteer and combination departments, and the State Farm and National Volunteer Fire Council program is only for volunteer departments.
