Description
The Fiscal Year 2026 State Fire Training Systems Grants program provides funding to state fire training systems to deliver government-funded courses, distribute and share student manuals, instructor guides, and other course materials, and provide resources to supplement and tailor their training delivery needs using National Fire Academy (NFA) courses and programs. The program aims to enhance public safety and reduce burdens that result from fire by promoting the professional development of the fire and emergency response community.
Key aspects of the program include:
• Delivering NFA state- and local partner-sponsored, NFA-approved, and enfranchised courses
• Providing resources to supplement and tailor training delivery needs
• Enhancing public safety and reducing burdens that result from fire
• Promoting professional development of the fire and emergency response community
Eligible applicants are state fire training systems designated by state legislation or governor's declaration. The program has a fixed award amount of $20,000 per state, and applicants can use up to 5% of the award for administrative costs.
