Wenatchee Valley Fire Department

Wenatchee Valley Fire Department is a U.S. local government entity based in Wenatchee, Washington, registered with SAM.gov since March 2023. As a fire department, the organization provides emergency response services and firefighting capabilities to the Wenatchee Valley region. Through federal grant awards, the department receives funding to enhance public and firefighter safety, strengthen operational capabilities, and support emergency response infrastructure across the community.

Wenatchee Valley Fire Department has secured federal funding through multiple channels to support its core firefighting and emergency management operations. Most notably, the department received a $133,770 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (CFDA 97.044) program in September 2025, with performance extending through September 2027. These funds are designated for procuring critical firefighting equipment, implementing training programs, and supporting health and wellness initiatives for emergency responders. Additionally, the department has received sub-grant awards flowing through Washington State's Military Department, which administered federal disaster mitigation funding and emergency firefighting cost assistance. Specifically, the department benefited from FEMA-authorized federal funds to support firefighting operations during the Andrus Fire in Spokane County, Washington, with sub-awards documented in October and November 2023. The department also participates in pre-disaster natural hazard mitigation programs through grants managed by the Military Department, with sub-awards received in October 2023 and January 2025. These grants collectively support the department's mission to reduce risk to the population and structures from future hazard events while maintaining operational readiness and responder capabilities.
