The fiscal year 2007 AFG program opened on March 29 and closes on May 4, 2007. “I am pleased to announce the availability of Homeland Security grants for our committed local firefighters,” Congresswoman Foxx said. “Grants from this program give local fire and rescue teams the opportunity to round out their budgets with funds for critical needs from training to capital investment.” Under this grant program local Fire Departments and Emergency Response Units can apply for funding. Projects funded range from vehicle acquisition to minor equipment. Fire departments may submit two separate applications - one for the program area of Operations and Safety and another for the Vehicle Acquisition Program Area.
