The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) was awarded a $897,482 Project Grant from the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration under the Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants program (CFDA 20.703).

The Supplemental Public Sector Training Grant is a train-the-trainer program that will facilitate instructor training to then conduct hazardous materials response training for individuals with statutory responsibilities to respond to hazardous materials accidents and incidents. The IAFF will use the funding from October 1, 2022 to October 30, 2024 to train instructors who will go on to provide hands-on hazardous materials training for emergency responders, with the overall goal of increasing state and local effectiveness and safety in handling hazardous materials emergencies.
