Description
The Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program, administered by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security, provides funding to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards. Grants are available in two main categories:
- Fire Prevention and Safety Activity: Supports projects that reach high-risk groups and reduce death and injuries from fire and related hazards, such as community risk reduction, wildfire risk reduction, code enforcement/awareness, origin and cause investigation, and national/state/regional programs.
- Firefighter Safety Research and Development (R&D) Activity: Funds research and development projects aimed at improving firefighter safety, health, or well-being. This includes clinical studies, technology and product development, preliminary studies, and early career investigator projects.
The program emphasizes both practical prevention efforts and innovative research, aiming to reduce fire-related risks and improve outcomes for both the general public and firefighting personnel.
