The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Wildfire Programs has revealed it is accepting proposals from fire departments for Fuels Reduction Projects.
The goal is to facilitate on-the-ground fuel reduction projects in communities across the country.
The funding opportunity is for fire and emergency response agencies to implement or expand community fuels-reduction projects in their jurisdictions.
Funding can support staffing costs, contractual services, purchase of mitigation PPE and purchase of small equipment (valued at less than $5,000).
Fire departments that work closely with the Forest Service and other partners on cross-boundary fuels-reduction projects and that demonstrate financial need will receive the highest priority for funding.
A maximum of $15,000 per department is available, with a minimum cash match of 5% of the award total.
All community/organization efforts must be reported in the RSG! Program’s Achievement Management System (AMS).
A minimum of 150 in-kind hours must be logged into AMS.
This opportunity is made available through a FEMA/FP&S grant awarded FY 2023 (EMW-2023-FP-00132).
Awardees will be sub-recipients of federal funding and must comply with all the provisions of 2 CFR 200.
