The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $960,000.70 Project Grant to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG Program, CFDA 97.044). The grant will support the delivery of firefighting equipment and training to enhance public safety with respect to fire and fire-related hazards. Specifically, the funding will be used by August 2024 to provide critical resources to help Indiana firefighters and emergency responders protect lives and property in their communities. As the state administering agency, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security will oversee grant implementation and ensure funds are distributed to local fire departments as intended under the AFG Program. The goal of this program is to strengthen local firefighting capacity through improved equipment, vehicles, training, and other resources needed for effective emergency response.
