Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Fire Assistance, Alaska grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM AK NOI09 0010) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, aimed at strengthening rural and volunteer fire department readiness in Alaska. The central purpose is to improve the capacity and overall capabilities of rural fire departments that protect small, remote communities and that also play a meaningful cooperative role in suppressing wildland fires. A key emphasis of the program is support for departments that respond to incidents occurring within, or near, lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), where coordination between local departments and federal land managers can be essential for quick, effective wildfire response.
This specific solicitation is targeted to the Rural Fire Department in Manley Hot Springs, Alaska. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help the local department better prepare for and respond to wildland fire activity and related emergencies that threaten rural communities and surrounding areas. While the announcement text does not list specific allowable cost categories, the stated goal of improving capacity and capability typically implies investments that strengthen operational readiness, response effectiveness, and cooperative wildfire suppression support in the local area.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the performance of the funded project (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared planning). The funding activity category is listed as community development, reflecting the public safety and resilience benefits to rural communities. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.242 (National Fire Plan, Rural Fire Assistance), linking it to broader national efforts to reduce wildfire risk and improve fire response capacity.
The opportunity anticipated making two awards in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between an award floor of $9,000 and an award ceiling of $15,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments and city or township governments, which aligns with how many rural fire departments are organized and funded through local or state governmental structures rather than as independent entities. The notice was posted and created on July 13, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2009, and an archive date of October 31, 2009. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Sandra S. Smith at s2smith@blm.gov.
