Fire Management Assistance Grant | California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Home Office of the Director Operations Recovery Directorate Recovery Operations Fire Management Assistance Grant Fire Management Assistance Grant The Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) program was authorized by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and provides for the mitigation, management, and control of fires that threaten such destruction as would constitute a major disaster.
The purpose of FMAG is to provide supplemental federal assistance to states and local government to fight fires burning on public (non-federal) or privately owned forest or grassland.
Fire Management Assistance is available to States, local, and tribal governments, for the mitigation, management, and control of fires on publicly or privately owned forests or grasslands, which threaten such destruction as would constitute a major disaster.
The Fire Management Assistance declaration process is initiated when a State submits a request for assistance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Regional Director at the time a “threat of major disaster” exists. The entire process is accomplished on an expedited basis and a FEMA decision is rendered in a matter of hours.
A Local or State fire agency must request an FMAG through the Cal OES Fire and Rescue Branch or the California State Warning Center (CSWC) while the fire is burning uncontrolled. The Fire Management Assistance Grant Program (FMAGP) provides a 75 percent Federal cost share and the State pays the remaining 25 percent for actual costs.
Before a grant can be awarded, a State must demonstrate that total eligible costs for the declared fire meet or exceed either the individual fire cost threshold – which applies to single fires, or the cumulative fire cost threshold, which recognizes numerous smaller fires burning throughout a State.
The following criteria are considered in order of descending priority during the evaluation process of a threat of a fire or fire complex: Threat to lives and improved property, including threats to critical facilities/infrastructure and critical watershed areas; Availability of state and local firefighting resources; High fire danger conditions, as indicated by nationally accepted indices such as the National Fire Danger Ratings System (NFDRS); and Potential major economic impact Eligible applicants must submit a Request for Fire Management Assistance Subgrant (RFMAS) FEMA Form 089-0-24 to Cal OES within 30 days of the close of the incident period.
RFMAS applications may be submitted via email or at the Applicants’ Briefing . Even though the official RFMAS deadline cannot be determined until the incident period is established, RFMAS applications are accepted as soon as the FMAG is declared.
Eligible Firefighting Costs Before a grant can be awarded, a state must demonstrate that total eligible costs for the declared fire meet or exceed either the individual fire cost threshold — which is applies to single fires, or the cumulative fire cost threshold, which recognizes numerous smaller fires burning throughout a state.

FEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.
Read articleThe FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program puts more than $1 billion across three programs — State Homeland Security Program, Urban Area Security Initiative ($584M across 44 cities), and Operation Stonegarden — with a July 24, 2026 deadline. But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums. Here is how the spending mandates actually stack, who is eligible, and how to build an Investment Justification that survives them.
Read articleOn June 24, 2026, FEMA released more than $1.5 billion across the Homeland Security Grant Program, a $300 million Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and six infrastructure-protection programs — all with an application window closing around July 24. This is the definitive breakdown: how SHSP, UASI, Operation Stonegarden, and the transit, port, Amtrak, and intercity-bus grants differ, what the new FY2026 priorities signal, why almost none of the money comes to you directly from FEMA, and the strategy for competing through your State Administrative Agency.
