About this award
FEMA awarded the City of Las Vegas $6,093,070.65 under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program on March 23, 2026, to support fire department staffing. The award runs through March 22, 2029, with place of performance in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The SAFER program provides direct funding to help communities meet industry minimum standards and attain 24-hour staffing to provide adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards, and to fulfill traditional missions of fire departments. Selection follows a multi-phase, merit-based process that includes pre-scoring based on alignment with program priorities established by a Criteria Development Panel composed of representatives from major fire service organizations, followed by peer review on weighted criteria including project description, impact on daily operations, financial need, and cost benefit. FEMA conducts internal reviews for completeness, technical feasibility, costs, and eligibility, along with financial integrity and risk assessments prior to award. Recipients may request a period of performance extension within 120 days of expiration for SAFER Recruitment and Retention Activity grants only, and extensions are granted only due to compelling legal, policy, or operational challenges.
