The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program
The 2002 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program's on-line application process has been designed to lead fire departments through a series of screens that will ask basic questions about the department, its firefighting workload and capacity, and its proposed project.
Departments can begin an application, save it, and return as often as needed. Throughout the process, they will have access to extensive help screens, definitions, and other information. After the application is finished and submitted to FEMA, an electronic confirmation will be sent.
