Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) Grant

Effective this year, the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grant program will no longer be administered as a separate program to Wisconsin county/area fire organizations. Instead, federal VFA grant dollars will be redirected to the Forest Fire Protection (FFP) grant program to further supplement fire department efforts to address Wisconsin’s forest and wildland fire needs.

FFP applications must be postmarked on or before July 1, 2008. Application materials will be available on-line at the following DNR website: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/cfa/LR/ffp/grants.html
