2) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reopened their annual Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program to support the health and safety of firefighters and EMS personnel. Grants may serve a number of purposes, including training for operations and safety, vehicle acquisition, and joint and regional efforts to improve cooperation and interoperability. $300 million is available with an award ceiling of $3.4 million; FEMA expects to make nearly 3,000 awards. The application deadline is December 5, 2014. Good candidates: Fire departments, EMS organizations, and state fire training academies. For more information, click HERE.
