The County of Hawaii received a $557,180 project grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region to support Hawaii Volunteer Fire Capacity Projects. The grant was awarded under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698), which provides assistance to control rural fires, prevent and suppress wildfires on non-federal lands, and develop prescribed fire techniques. With this funding, the County of Hawaii will deliver services from August 2023 through June 2024 to control and prevent rural and wildland fires through volunteer fire departments in Hawaii. The award will support wildfire prevention, control, and training efforts to strengthen volunteer fire capacity across the state.
