At work we applied for a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG).

If you have larger Departments around you that are getting AFG's check with them. We gave our old system to a small department in our County, you may be able to get someone to do the same.

Kory,
My department is going through the same process. Have you found any information on writing a good grant for this. If so would you share.

Thanks,
Todd

We applied for, and received a grant in 2005 for a 6000 psi cascade system. If you show how it will benefit not only your department but the surrounding ones as well,, you stand a better chance of getting one. The training aspect is very big as well.

If you'd like to see the wording I used on the 2005 application let me know.

Yes, there are grants available for cascade systems. We were able to purchase a large in house cascade, and mobile cascade system for our rescue truck, with the grant we were awarded. However, I'm not privy to the details of how we obtained this grant. I do know though, that is was specific for a cascade system.

Too late for a FIRE Act this year, but yes; you can apply for a FIRE Act grant for a compressor and cascade under Firefighter Operations and Firefighter Safety. Contact Brian Vickers at www.firegraphics.com.
