Crofton Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.

Crofton Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is a non-profit, corporate tax-exempt organization registered in SAM.gov, with active registration through February 21, 2025. As a volunteer fire department, the organization serves its local community by providing critical emergency response and fire safety services. The department primarily engages with federal agencies through grant programs, specifically focusing on public safety and emergency preparedness initiatives.

The organization has consistently received Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with recent awards totaling approximately $472,797.40 across three grants between 2022 and 2024. These project grants, each with a performance period of approximately two years, are designed to enhance public and firefighter safety by supporting critical infrastructure and resource acquisition. The grants have enabled the Crofton Volunteer Fire Department to invest in essential equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training programs, and other resources that directly improve fire-related risk management. Specifically, the AFG Program (CFDA #97.044) has supported the department's efforts to acquire specialized safety equipment, upgrade protective gear, potentially purchase emergency response vehicles, and develop comprehensive training programs that reduce risks to both firefighting personnel and the broader community. The substantial grant amounts indicate a significant commitment from FEMA to support the department's mission of maintaining high safety standards and operational readiness.
