Review Of The Assistance To Firefighters Grant Program

An assessment of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG) established by the Dept. of Homeland Security. It is based on interviews with employees & officials of relevant agencies & institutions, direct observations, & a review of applicable documents. The AFG program identifies fire dep't. that lack the tools & resources necessary to protect the health & safety of firefighting personnel & the public they serve, & provides direct financial assistance to meet these needs. Grants are awarded annually to eligible fire dep't. that address the program's priorities, demonstrate financial need, & maximize the benefits to be derived from the grant funds. In FY 2003, Congress appropriated $750 million for the program's implementation.Ervin, Clark Kent is the author of 'Review Of The Assistance To Firefighters Grant Program', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756740597 and ISBN 0756740592.
