The City of Los Angeles Fire Department received a $7,752,582.48 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on September 15, 2023. The SAFER Grant Program, with CFDA Number 97.083, aims to assist local fire departments with staffing and deployment capabilities to respond to emergencies and ensure adequate fire and emergency protection for communities. This grant will fund the City of Los Angeles Fire Department's efforts to enhance its frontline staffing and operational readiness, including specialized training, equipment procurement, and maintenance to bolster the department's emergency response capabilities. Key focus areas include structural collapse rescue, trench/tunnel rescue, terrorism and disaster preparation, maritime infrastructure protection, firefighter safety, and adequate staffing. The grant leverages the City's participation in FEMA's National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System, Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), and Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG) to deliver vital, life-saving services through its US&R task force and first responders at the Port of Los Angeles.
