The Funding Breakdown
Every year, FEMA sends grant money to fire departments.
Last year, FEMA sent $865 million across three categories:
- Assistance to Firefighters Grant Funding (AFG) – 47% of total
- Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Program (SAFER) – 48% of total
- Fire Prevention and Safety (FPS) – 5% of total
Excluding one-time COVID supplemental grants, all three grant types went from growing at low double digits to growing by 16-27%.
There can be large differences between a state’s rank on SAFER funding vs. AFG funding.
