Fire Prevention & Safety Grants (FP&S)

The Fire Prevention and Safety Grants (FP&S) are part of the
Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG), and are under
the purview of the Grant Programs Directorate in the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. FP&S
Grants support projects that enhance the safety
of the public and firefighters from fire and
related hazards. The primary goal is to target
high-risk populations and reduce injury and
prevent death. In 2005, Congress reauthorized
funding for FP&S and expanded the eligible
uses of funds to include Firefighter Safety
Research and Development.
THE FY 2011 FP&S APPLICATION PERIOD IS NOW CLOSED
