Description: 

The South Carolina Forestry Commission administers two USDA Forest Service federally funded Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) programs, the VFA Title II grants and the VFA National Fire Plan grants. Both are 50/50 matching fund grants.

Fire departments serving a rural area or a rural community with a population of 10,000 or less are eligible for the Volunteer Fire Assistance program grants. Fire departments serving a population greater than 10,000 may qualify as long as the service area includes a rural area or the population of the fire department’s jurisdiction is 10,000 or less. The VFA funding must be used only for the benefit of the rural community. The intent of the program is to help the most needy fire departments based on criteria like ISO rating, budget, and budget source.
