LEGISLATION

"United we stand, divided we fall. Working together".  

AFG, SAFER, USFA Reauthorization Bill Signed into Law CCFS's Vice president: Alan Sactor in attendance at Capitol Hill. 

On July 9, 2024, President Biden signed into law the Fire Grants and Safety Act (S.870). After two years of advocacy by CFSI and our National Advisory Committee members, the AFG and SAFER grant programs will continue to be able to deliver vital federal support to fire departments across the nation and enable them to address their baseline needs. Specifically, this bill:

  • Reauthorizes the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant programs through fiscal year 2028,
  • Reauthorizes the U.S. Fire Administration through fiscal year 2028,
  • and Extends the sunset date for AFG and SAFER to September 30, 2030. 
  CCFS Supports Fire Grants and Safety Act (S. 870/H.R. 4090), and is one of several non-profit associations included in this letter .... 

Dear Speaker Johnson, Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, and Leader Jeffries:  As Congress considers the upcoming fiscal year (FY) 2024 legislation, our organizations urge you to include provisions to reauthorize key fire service grant programs—the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) and the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) programs—as well as the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA).

We are pleased that the reauthorization of AFG, SAFER, and USFA has strong, bipartisan support in both chambers. It is imperative that the Fire Grants and Safety Act (S. 870/H.R. 4090) be included in the FY24 appropriations package to ensure it becomes law before AFG and SAFER expire. ... MORE

CCFS Supports the Pro Codes Act.  

This legislation will ensure the proven system of developing fire safety and other life-saving codes continues.

For more than a century, voluntary consensus standards created by nonprofit organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and UL Standards and Engagement have protected all Americans, including firefighters.

CCFS supports the reopening of NFA

We have formally requested that the United States Fire Administration’s (USFA) National Fire Academy (NFA) reopen as quickly as possible. For over 50 years, NFA has provided specialized training courses and advanced management programs to middle- and top-level fire officers, fire service instructors, technical professionals, and representatives from allied professions in all 50 states.
