Tell Congress to End the Fire Service Shutdown
March 10, 2026
Due to the ongoing debate in Congress over the funding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security has been shutdown since February 14. This has delayed the application period for the AFG and SAFER grant programs. It has also closed the U.S. Fire Administration and the National Fire Academy. Use this link to tell Congress to immediately come to an agreement on DHS funding or restore funding to these key fire service programs.
