Fire Grants and Safety Act
S 559, the Fire Grants and Safety Act, extends funding for three key fire-related federal grant programs through 2032. It reauthorizes the U.S. Fire Administration with $95 million annually (2024-2030), including $3.42 million yearly for specific programs, and extends the Firefighter Assistance Grants and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response programs through 2032. These programs provide critical federal funding to state and local fire departments for equipment, training, and staffing. The bill directly affects fire departments nationwide that rely on these grants to maintain safety resources.
