The Resource Issue Facing Firefighters

Gone are the days when fire departments just put out fires.  Today's firefighters must be ready to respond to many different situations such as medical emergencies, hazardous material incidents, wildfires and terrorist attacks.

As demands for their services increase, firefighters and rescue workers around the country face serious funding challenges, leaving many volunteer and paid fire departments without adequate resources.
For Fire Departments

Although we can't fund every fire department need, we try to connect our employees and agents to resource-strapped departments in their communities for grant consideration. 

We also collect stories about fire departments in need to help raise awareness of the issue of underfunding.  Take our survey and share your story with us.
