AFG workshops that were held across the United States.
Beginning in the middle of March and continuing through the beginning of April 2010, these workshops will be held to provide information about the submission of competitive applications under the 2010 Assistance to Firefighters Grants program. Interested representatives from fire department as well as representatives from non-affiliated EMS organizations are invited to attend the workshops. Information will be presented on program changes, program priorities, eligibility requirements, and on the application process. Also, general assistance in the writing of a competitive narrative for a department's grant application will be discussed. General Workshop Information
