WASHINGTON —The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced awards for the Fiscal Year 2007 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant (SAFER) awarding 8 grants to fire departments in the United States amounting to more than $2 million.
The SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Grant was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations in order to help them increase the number of trained, “front-line” firefighters available in their communities. The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments’ abilities to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by NFPA and OSHA
