About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Deforest Windsor Fire & EMS District Board received a $1.39 million Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program (CFDA 97.083) on March 19, 2026. The grant, which extends through March 18, 2029, supports the hiring of frontline firefighters and recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters in DeForest, Wisconsin. SAFER funding enables fire departments to meet industry minimum standards and achieve 24-hour staffing levels to provide adequate community protection from fire and fire-related hazards while supporting traditional fire department missions.

The SAFER program distributes federal resources directly to eligible state, local, and tribal fire departments to address critical staffing needs. This award contributes to FEMA's broader commitment to enhancing public safety through a competitive, merit-based selection process that evaluates applicants on project merit, financial need, operational impact, and cost-benefit analysis. Recipients must maintain project performance through grant administration systems and may pursue period-of-performance extensions under compelling circumstances.
