    We hope to never repeat the number of natural and manmade disasters our first responders faced in 2016. The fire service responded to historic hurricanes, forest fires, floods, and mass shootings in addition to structure fires and rescue incidents.

    In order to help the fire service be prepared to respond to major incidents, the Fire Apparatus Manufacturers' Association (FAMA) and the Fire and Emergency Manufacturers and Services Association (FEMSA) ask for your support with our latest needs survey.

    First responder feedback, coupled with support industry representatives  and service providers, will create a stronger, unified message that will be delivered in person to Congressional representatives on Capitol Hill in April.

    We stand with you in the fight for the reauthorization of the Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants. These programs fund critical programs for fire departments, including equipment, training and apparatus purchases and increase staffing.

    Please take this five-minute survey at FAMA.org or FEMSA.org to help first responders in the future. One survey participant will win $5,000 in equipment for their fire department and a $500 Best Buy gift card. 

    Thank you for adding your voice for the safety of all first responders nationwide.
