National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS)
Can I apply for an AFG Program grant and the Fire Prevention and Safety Grant Program?
Yes. You are eligible to apply for both grants, however; the Fire Prevention and Safety Grant Program should not be a substitute for applying for fire prevention activities through the competitive grant. The priorities for the Fire Prevention and Safety grants focus on national programs and innovative local programs, not local basic prevention needs.

Can I get reimbursed for costs associated with submitting information to NFIRS?
Yes. If you are not currently reporting to NFIRS, new costs associated with this activity may be included in the applicant's administrative costs. The anticipated cost should be included in the budget and explained in the program narrative. Applicants should be aware that administrative costs will be taken into consideration in the evaluation process with respect to cost-benefit. Therefore, excessive charges to administrative costs may result in a lower rating in the evaluation of the application.
