Kansas Volunteer Firefighter Grant | State Fire Marshal, KS Kansas Volunteer Firefighter Grant Kansas Volunteer Firefighter Grant Public Education & Outreach 2027 Grant Application Period is OPEN! The Kansas State Fire Marshal (KSFM) is providing no-match grants to volunteer fire departments across the state for sets of personal protective equipment (PPE) and/or washing machine/extractors.
This $500,000 grant is possible through our budget passed by the State Legislature and signed by Governor Laura Kelly. Each bunker gear set will include a helmet, hood, coat, pants, gloves, and boots for department members. Wildland sets include a helmet, coat, pants, gloves, and boots.
Only full sets of PPE gear will be awarded; no partial sets. Fire departments, especially small rural volunteer departments, are struggling with the recruitment and retention of firefighters because they don’t have funding to provide safety equipment. This leaves potential volunteers not only donating their time but faced with providing their own safety gear or do without.
Applicants must be an established and recognized Kansas volunteer fire department (one that only employs volunteers with no full-time staff; receiving payment for runs does not disqualify a department) and be in compliance with NERIS reporting. NERIS onboarding information can be found HERE . For NERIS compliance, contact Andrea Nolte at andrea.
