The Spangler Fire Company

The Spangler Fire Company, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania, has established itself as a recipient of federal grant funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The organization does not serve as a federal contractor but has successfully secured prime federal grant awards to support its core mission of enhancing firefighting capabilities and emergency response services within its local community. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, The Spangler Fire Company operates with a focus on advancing public safety and firefighter preparedness through federally-funded initiatives.

The Spangler Fire Company has received three prime federal grant awards through FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) program under CFDA 97.044, demonstrating a consistent track record of securing federal support for critical operational needs. The most recent award, granted on September 27, 2025, provided $193,065 in Project Grant funding with a completion date of September 26, 2027, enabling the organization to acquire essential firefighting equipment and resources to enhance operational capabilities and community preparedness. Prior to this, the company received an AFG award on August 24, 2023, with a two-year project period ending August 23, 2025, and an earlier award on September 6, 2021, with a one-year project term concluding September 5, 2022. These successive grants indicate that The Spangler Fire Company has effectively utilized federal funding to support its mission of acquiring critical equipment and maintaining readiness in fire suppression and emergency response. All three awards were funded through FEMA HQ Financial Assistance Awards, and the organization has not engaged subcontractors or prime partners in these grant awards, instead implementing the funded projects directly to benefit its local firefighting operations.
