$684,000,000 for firefighter equipment and staffing grants
What the document says“$684,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2027, of which $342,000,000 shall be for Assistance to Firefighter Grants and $342,000,000 shall be for Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants”
The sixth allocation from the federal assistance account. It stays available through September 30, 2027, and is split evenly between the two firefighter grant programs under sections 33 and 34 of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974: Assistance to Firefighter Grants, which pays for equipment, and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants, which pays for firefighters.
What the document actually says“$684,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2027, of which $342,000,000 shall be for Assistance to Firefighter Grants and $342,000,000 shall be for Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants”
Fire grants get $684,000,000. Half buys gear. Half pays for firefighters.
One program buys trucks, hoses and air packs. The other helps a town hire crews. The money lasts two years.
