This grant, the Rural Fire Assistance (RFA) program, is designed to provide financial aid to eligible Rural Fire Departments (RFDs). Its primary purpose is to support RFDs that protect rural and wildland-urban interface communities, especially those playing a significant cooperative role in safeguarding federal lands. To qualify, RFDs must be cooperators with Department of the Interior (DOI) managed lands, either directly or through state/tribal agreements. Furthermore, eligible departments must serve populations under 10,000. This funding aims to enhance the capabilities of smaller fire departments in their crucial role of protecting both local communities and vital federal natural resources.
