New Grant Programs for Wildland Firefighting Infrastructure

In November 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill to support state, local, tribal and territorial governments as well as other partners, was signed into law by President Joe Biden.  This Bill contains a significant amount of new funding for Wildland Firefighting Infrastructure grants. 

These grants will potentially pay for numerous items including pre-fire planning, equipment, apparatus and personnel.  If your fire district/department is located adjacent to USFS, DOI or DNR lands, then you are eligible for even more grant funding.
