Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Rural Fire Assistance Ready Reserve Program (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00252) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management to strengthen wildland fire preparedness in Oregon and Washington by investing in training for rural and volunteer firefighters. The core purpose is to improve the capacity and operational capability of rural and volunteer fire departments that protect rural communities and regularly assist with suppressing wildland fires occurring on, near, or affecting lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help non-federal partners build the skills and readiness needed to work safely and effectively in wildland fire environments, especially in situations where local departments and federal responders operate side by side.
This opportunity is tied to the National Fire Plan Rural Fire Assistance program (CFDA 15.242) and is focused specifically on training support rather than equipment or infrastructure. The Ready Reserve framing reflects a goal of having trained, qualified firefighters available ahead of peak fire season so that rural departments can respond quickly, integrate smoothly with interagency incident operations, and safely participate in cooperative suppression efforts. The description notes that in spring 2010, multiple wildland fire partner agencies submitted proposals for training programs aimed at rural and volunteer wildland firefighters, and that the successful applicants have already been identified and notified. Those selected are being invited to proceed with formal grant applications for funding, which indicates this posting functions largely as the formal application step following an earlier proposal selection process.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The total estimated funding available is $54,000, with an award ceiling of $54,000 and an award floor of $1, which suggests one award could potentially cover the full amount, though the announcement also anticipates approximately two awards. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the financial barrier for eligible local government entities to participate.
Eligible applicants are limited to government entities, specifically city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and special district governments. This eligibility range aligns with the common organizational structures that oversee or sponsor rural and volunteer fire departments, fire districts, and intergovernmental fire training efforts. While the description emphasizes support for non-federal cooperators and rural/volunteer departments, the formal applicant likely needs to be a qualifying governmental unit capable of receiving and managing federal grant funds.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on August 6, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2010, indicating a short application window. The archive date is August 6, 2011. Applicants needing the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link, and a Bureau of Land Management point of contact was provided for access or assistance: Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6230 or wullrey@blm.gov.
