National Fire Service Organizations Express Outrage at Cuts to Grants to Local Fire Departments

U.S. Senate Urged to Restore Funding to FIRE and SAFER Grant Programs
Share

The NFFF is uniting with the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the International Association of Fire Fighters, the National Volunteer Fire Council, the Congressional Fire Services Institute, and the National Fire Protection Association to express outrage at recently proposed cuts by the Senate Appropriations Committee to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) programs.  Together, our organizations call upon Congress to restore funding to these programs.

We are also asking members of our fire service community to contact their Senators and Representatives to protect the AFG and SAFER grant programs.
