The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $860,000.10 Project Grant to the Washington State Patrol under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG Program, CFDA 97.044). The grant will fund firefighting and fire prevention services and equipment for the period of August 17, 2022 through August 16, 2024 in North Bend, Washington.
As the goal of the AFG Program is to enhance public and firefighter safety from fire and fire-related hazards, the funding will likely support the acquisition of vehicles, protective gear, emergency medical equipment, training, or other resources. The Washington Department of Public Instruction is listed as the parent organization of the awardee, indicating the award may also involve fire prevention education or safety programs.
