Federal Grants

[1stResponder]

Does anyone know how to go about obtianing a federal grant? Perticularly in Kentucky? Our vol. fire dept. would like to build a training "house" or smoke maze. ANY help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

If your department serves a population less than 10,000, you may qualify for the Volunteer Fire Assistance program. This 50-50 matching federal grant program is administred through your state forester. Contact their office to learn how to apply.

You may also want to visit www.usfa.fema.gov (http://www.usfa.fema.gov) to order the Alternative Funding Guide - this free manual provides information regarding federal grants as well as other funding methods.

Sincerely,
Heather Schafer
NVFC Executive Director

Im also from KY. Sometime recently i think i had heard that the state will provide like $250,000 towards training facilities. Im not sure where i heard it or who to contact. Try the state fire commission.
