Region XII Council of Governments announced that their Fiscal Year 2023 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program’s application period will be closing soon.

The application period began earlier in the year, and the program awards grants to fire departments. Interested departments need to make sure they’ve filled out their annual System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration with their city, completed a needs assessment of their gear and other equipment, and obtained an informal cost quote on what it would take to cover replacement/repair of said equipment. The application period ends on March 8th.
