Book excerpt: The Assistance to Firefighters Program, also known as the FIRE Act grant program, was established by Title XVII of the FY2001 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 106-398). Currently administered by the Office for State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness (OSLGCP) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the program provides federal grants directly to local fire departments and unaffiliated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organizations to help address a variety of equipment, training, and other firefighter-related and EMS needs. The FY2005 Homeland Security Appropriations bill (P.L. 108-334) provided $650 million for fire grants and an additional $65 million for the "SAFER Act" which establishes a federal grant program to provide funding to fire departments for hiring personnel. Meanwhile, Congress approved the reauthorization of the fire grant program as part of the FY2005 National Defense Authorization Act (Title XXXVI of P.L. 108375). The Administration's FY2006 budget proposal requests $500 million for fire grants in FY2006, a cut of 23% from the FY2005 appropriated level. No funding is requested for SAFER grants in FY2006. On May 17, 2005 the House passed H.R. 2360, the FY2006 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. The House appropriation is $650 million for firefighter assistance, including $575 million for fire grants and $75 million for SAFER Act grants. An ongoing issue likely to receive attention during the 109th Congress is the focus of the fire grant program. This report will be updated as events warrant.

Book excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), awards grants to fire departments and other organizations for equipment, staffing, and other needs. As of July 2009, FEMA had received about 25,000 and 22,000 applications for its fiscal years 2007 and 2008 fire grant programs, respectively, and had awarded more than 5,000 grants in both years. GAO was congressionally directed to review the application and award process for these grants. This report addresses the (1) extent to which FEMA has met statutory and program requirements for distributing the grant funds; (2) actions FEMA has taken to provide assistance to grant applicants and involve the fire service community in the grant process; and (3) extent to which FEMA has ensured that its grant process is accessible, clear, and consistent with requirements, including its grant guidance. GAO analyzed relevant laws and interviewed 36 randomly selected grant applicants to obtain their views, but the results are not generalizable.
