MI Fire Equipment Grant Program

The purpose of this grant program is to provide grant funding to local units of government to assist with the purchase of fire equipment for all firefighters and fire gear for firefighters that are on-call, part-time, or volunteer. Funding will first be prioritized for local governments that directly employ firefighters or have direct authority, supervision, or operational control of firefighters. Award amounts will be prorated to ensure all local governments within this priority group receive funding. If additional funds remain, other local governments may be considered. Local Governments must submit a signed and completed Fire Equipment Grant Program Application. Applications must be signed by the Chief Administrative Officer, or their designee, and submitted through the Michigan eSignature Solution. They must include a proposed budget detailing how grant funds will be used.
