The Assistance to Firefighters Grant meets the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and non-affiliated emergency medical service organizations. The goal of this grant is to provide firefighters and first responders with updated equipment, gear, radios, training, and emergency vehicles to better protect themselves and the community. The AFG assists over 2,000 fire departments nationwide each year, with grants reaching over $3,000,000 for personal protective equipment, and gear that may be otherwise unattainable by its recipients.

The AFG will be launching a new system, the Grant Outcomes (GO) system, for its 2019 application. This new system is meant to streamline the application process with a more user-friendly interface. This interface will require that the information entered matches your SAM and DUNS information, including your grant’s point of contact.

The 2019 cycle is projected to begin in the late summer or early fall season. We encourage all of our partners in fire and public safety to assess the needs of their department, obtain estimates, and apply for this opportunity to enhance their fleet of equipment to better protect the public while keeping themselves safe.

The main groups that depend on P25 radios are public safety personnel at the federal, state, and local levels. Firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel highly depend on these radios that offer them the necessary interoperability to effectively do their jobs. Military personnel have also come to depend on these radios to ensure that they have the communication needed to perform their duties.

While the P25 standard was developed for public safety officials in North America, these radios are not limited to public safety or North America. In fact, the interoperability provided by P25 radios has led to organizations from around the world adopting these standards to ensure they are receiving the type of communication that they need out of their digital radios.

The standards set by P25 brought communication through radios to a new level. By using P25 radios, the days of communication lapses becoming a problem when two departments attempt to work together during an emergency situation are gone. Now, multiple departments can come together with no communication issues to ensure the safety of each member of their department and for the community that they are protecting. RELM Wireless is proud to provide P25 radios to federal, state, and local public safety personnel across the country.
