GRANT NAME:  FIRE DISTRICT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM – FIREFIGHTER PROPERTY PROGRAM (FPP)
 
FUNDER: 
Washington Department of Natural Resources (WA)
Resource Protection Division
 
GRANT TYPE: 
Government
 
AWARD AMOUNT: 
Varies
 
PURPOSE:
The purpose of these programs is to provide local and rural fire districts in Washington State opportunities to establish, develop, improve, and maintain their wildland firefighting capabilities. Improving the capabilities of local districts helps defend Washington against wildfire. These programs can make several types of training, equipment, and other assistance more affordable to local fire districts. This program helps fire protection districts and fire departments get fire engines and fire tenders (vehicles that bring water, foam, or dry chemicals to fire trucks in the field) suitable for low-cost conversion to wildland use. Fire districts receive the title to the property. Districts may have to pay the expense of transporting the vehicle from an out-of-state location (about two-thirds of the vehicles located through this program come from other states). FFP provides vehicles suitable for conversion into wildland engines or tenders for fire districts, at their expense. In return, the districts receive title to the vehicles upon taking possession.
