State Fire Training Systems Grants

The goal of the National Fire Academy (NFA) State Fire Training Grants (SFTG) is to enhance public safety and reduce burden that results from fire through promotion of professional development for the fire and emergency response community and its allied professionals and support state and local organizations in fulfilling their obligation to career and volunteer fire and emergency services (FEMS). The objectives of the SFTSG are to: • Develop, deliver, and manage educational and training programs having a national focus that are outside state and local training missions or that exceed state and local capabilities because of cost or audience. • Establish a safer FEMS community through training that results in fewer fire and emergency service-related deaths for first responders and the public. • Build understanding and application of fire reduction and response strategies. • Fill training gaps that are outside state and local training missions or that exceed State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) capabilities.
