The County of Hillsborough, Florida received a $11.8 million Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program. The goal of the three-year award ending February 2025 is to support the county's staffing and deployment capabilities for responding to emergencies and ensuring adequate fire and hazard protection for local communities. The SAFER grant program aims to help local fire departments enhance their staffing resources to meet these needs. The funding will allow Hillsborough County to bolster its emergency response operations through hiring additional personnel and improving deployment logistics over the grant period.
