Assistance to Firefighters Grants Application Period to Open April 26,
2010 
April 23, 2010 

________________________________

The Department of Homeland Security has posted the FY 2010 Assistance to
Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program Guidance on the AFG Web site. The
application period is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 26, 2010, at
8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). Applications for these grants must be
received by Friday, May 28, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). 

Nationally, the AFG awards, which will be distributed in phases, will
ultimately provide approximately $390 million to fire departments and
nonaffiliated emergency medical service organizations throughout the
country. AFG awards aim to enhance response capabilities and to more
effectively protect the health and safety of the public with respect to
fire and other hazards. The grants enable local fire departments and
emergency medical services organizations to obtain training, conduct
first responder health and safety programs, and buy equipment and
response vehicles. 

An applicant tutorial is available at www.firegrantsupport.com

Directorate in coordination with the U.S. Fire Administration.
