Submit and Share Your Success Story We want to hear about you
Your success is important to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. We also want to share your success stories with others. That means we need to hear from you.
Tell us what your department has accomplished with the grant funding it has received. The criteria for AFG, SAFER, FP&S and SCG success stories are slightly different, so please read both the instructions and example carefully before submission.
