HR 1814 United States House · 118th Congress

FIRE STATION Act

HR 1814, the FIRE STATION Act, creates a federal grant program to help fire departments and emergency medical services (EMS) organizations upgrade or build facilities. It directly affects career, volunteer, and combination fire departments, as well as fire training facilities and nonaffiliated EMS organizations (non-hospital-based EMS groups). The program allocates $750 million for fiscal year 2024, with grants covering facility construction/renovation, safety upgrades (like HVAC or mold remediation), and requiring compliance with current safety codes. Grants are capped at $7.5 million per recipient, must follow Davis-Bacon wage standards, and require annual reporting on fund usage and program effectiveness.
