These federal grants, awarded under CFDA #97.044, have directly supported the department's ability to improve firefighter safety and emergency response capabilities. The most recent grant awards, including those in July 2023 and projected for August 2024, continue to provide financial support for equipment procurement and operational improvements, with each grant typically spanning a two-year period. By consistently securing these FEMA grants, Salyer Volunteer Fire Department demonstrates its commitment to maintaining high-quality emergency services and investing in the safety of its first responders and community.
