UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) — Volunteer fire departments across New York State have a new opportunity to upgrade their facilities and equipment with $25 million in capital grants.<\/p>\n

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the request for applications through the Volunteer Fire Infrastructure and Response Equipment Grant Program is now available.<\/p>\n

The deadline to apply is Feb. 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, which administers the program, awarded the first round of funding in October 2024 to 88 entities across the State.<\/p>\n

The program seeks to ensure fire stations and training facilities are safe and meet current building codes.<\/p>\n

It also focuses on improving firefighter safety with equipment like personal protective equipment and decontamination supplies.<\/p>\n

Two funding options are available: $20 million for construction and renovation projects and $5 million for fire service equipment projects.<\/p>\n
