The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) announced that $5 million will be granted across 17 fire departments or fire protection districts in Illinois.
The Fire Station and Rehabilitation Program awards grants of up to $350,000 for the construction or rehabilitation of fire stations. The grantees will use the money to repair, upgrade, or construct a new station. A list of the 2025 grant recipients, their counties, and their award totals can be found here.
The recipients were selected through a competitive process that was opened through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). More information can be found at the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal website.
