Dec. 1, 2015
The 2015 program will award $306M in grants.

The application period for the 2015 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) opens today, Dec. 7.

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 (PDF). The notice outlines all criteria and serves as a worksheet for grant project management. 

The three main categories include: operations and safety, regional projects and vehicle acquisition. 

FEMA has created an in-depth resource page for the 2015 AFG grants here.

The application period closes on Jan. 15 at 5 p.m. ET.
