Title: Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Program 
Abstract: This proposed action provides interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program. The purpose of these grants is to award grants to hire new firefighters and to recruit and retain volunteer firefighters. Specifically, there are two funding activities under this program: Hiring of New Firefighters Activity grants would be made directly to volunteer, combination, and career fire departments to help communities meet industry minimum standards and increase the number of active firefighters; and Recruitment and Retention of Volunteer Firefighters Activity grants would be made directly to volunteer and combination fire departments and to local and Statewide organizations that represent the volunteer firefightersÂ’ interests to create or expand incentive programs to increase and maintain volunteer firefighter staffing levels.
