Where can I obtain technical assistance in filling out an application?
There is a toll free information line available for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. The toll free number is 866-274-0960. Calling hours are Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. E.S.T. This number will also accept voice-mail messages after hours, on weekends, or if the line is busy. Questions may also be sent to a toll free fax line, 866-274-0942, or e-mailed to usfagrants@fema.gov. • Where and when can I get grant writing training?
