Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER)

Retention Requirement

What happens if my department experiences difficulty in meeting the retention requirement?
Once a SAFER-funded position is filled, the funded position must remain filled until the end of the period of performance. Be advised that recipients of grants in the Hiring of Firefighters Activity must commit to a 5-year period of performance during which the Federal contribution toward the costs of the salaries will diminish over the course of the performance period.

If your department has accepted the grant and subsequently experiences any difficulties with this requirement at any point, you must notify your grants management specialist and or regional fire program specialist immediately.
