Federal Firefighter Property Program

Program provides surplus military equipment at no cost to qualifying fire departments through an agreement with the Department of Defense (administered by USDA Forest Service). Equipment includes vehicles (pickup trucks, SUVs, 2½ and 5-ton trucks, utility vans, box trucks), fire trucks (tankers and pumpers), generators, trailers, light towers, light bars and sirens, hoses, nozzles, pumps, fresh air compressors, breathing apparatus, and turnout gear. Qualifying organizations may receive ownership of equipment with few restrictions on use or disposal. Program Details DOF is a funding organization that offers the Federal Firefighter Property Program grant program to support equipment purchase. This funding opportunity is available statewide and is administered by DOF through Virginia Department of Forestry Financial Assistance. Organizations seeking funding for equipment purchase should review the details below and confirm their eligibility before preparing an application. Eligibility Eligible applicants include government agencies and municipalities. Organizations that meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply and to review the full program guidelines before submission. Because eligibility rules and funding priorities can change between cycles, applicants should always confirm the current requirements with DOF or on Virginia Department of Forestry Financial Assistance before investing time in an application. Funding and Timeline This is a rolling or open-cycle opportunity with no fixed application deadline. Applicants should allow sufficient time to gather required documentation, including organizational information, project descriptions, budgets, and supporting materials as specified in the program guidelines. Submitting a complete application well ahead of the deadline reduces the risk of disqualification on technical or administrative grounds. Program Focus This grant supports equipment purchase. Funded projects are expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes aligned with the program's stated objectives. Grant recipients may be required to submit progress reports and final evaluations as a condition of the award, and to retain records for audit and compliance purposes.
