The SAFER objective is to provide funding directly to fire departments for the purpose of increasing the number of firefighters to help communities meet industry minimum standards and attain 24-hour staffing to provide adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards, and to fulfill traditional missions of fire departments that antedate the creation of the FEMA grant funds are available in two activities: Hiring Firefighters and Recruitment and Retention of Volunteer Firefighters.
