What the grant funds

In accordance with the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974, the Superintendent of the National Fire Academy (NFA) delivers training in cooperation with State fire service training agencies. The cooperation includes the State Fire Training Systems Grant (SFTSG) program providing grants to pay for: the direct delivery of government-funded courses in the states; the distribution and sharing of student manuals, instructor guides, and other course materials and funding the states to help supplement and tailor their training delivery needs using NFA courses and programs. State Fire Training Programs support Goal 5 of the DHS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024, Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience, and Goal 3 of the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan, Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation. The SFTSG allows state fire training agencies to choose from more than 200 courses. Some of the topics in these courses include leadership, community risk reduction, and incident management. A sample of SFTSG awardees showed an average of 12 classes completed, which trained on average 162 students in one award year.
