Jamesport Fire District

Jamesport Fire District is a U.S. local government municipality located in Riverhead, New York, that serves as a prime recipient of federal grant awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Registered in SAM.gov since July 2012, the fire district has established itself as an active participant in FEMA's grant programs designed to enhance emergency response capabilities and public safety infrastructure. The district does not serve as a federal contract prime awardee but has consistently pursued federal grant funding to strengthen its operational capacity and support its mission of protecting the Jamesport community.

Jamesport Fire District has received five federal grant awards from FEMA since 2021, demonstrating a sustained commitment to leveraging federal resources for emergency services improvement. The district has been a primary beneficiary of two major FEMA grant programs: the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) program and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program. Under the AFG program, which provided awards in February 2021, August 2023, and August 2024, the fire district has utilized funding to enhance operational capabilities and critical emergency response infrastructure, with the August 2024 award of $576,500 specifically supporting equipment procurement, personal protective gear acquisition, and facility modifications to ensure firefighter safety. The SAFER program award received in June 2023 focused on staffing resources to support adequate emergency response capabilities through June 2027. Additionally, a most recent AFG award in September 2025 extends the district's commitment to infrastructure and equipment improvements through September 2027. All awards have been administered directly by FEMA HQ Financial Assistance Awards, with no identified sub-awardee partners, indicating that Jamesport Fire District manages grant implementation independently to serve its local community's emergency response needs.
