Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards & Training (DPSST) received a $460,000 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under CFDA 97.044, with an award date of September 30, 2025 and completion deadline of September 29, 2027. The AFG program is designed to enhance public and firefighter safety by providing financial assistance to fire departments, emergency medical service organizations, and state fire training academies. While specific project deliverables are not explicitly detailed in the award documentation, DPSST's historical AFG funding pattern indicates that such grants typically support critical infrastructure improvements, firefighting equipment procurement, personal protective gear acquisition, training program implementation, and facility modifications designed to enhance firefighter safety and emergency response capabilities across Oregon.

As the Training Division of Oregon's central public safety professional development entity, DPSST leverages federal AFG funding to strengthen emergency response infrastructure statewide. The organization has demonstrated sustained capacity in managing substantial federal fire services grants, with its AFG portfolio totaling approximately $930,000 across multiple awards. The 24-month performance period aligns with standard AFG grant parameters and positions DPSST to deliver measurable improvements in firefighter operational efficiency and safety outcomes throughout the state.
