Fire department seeks $600K federal safety grant

Saint Paul file RES 26-965, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-06-17.

Latest action: Passed

What it does

Fire crews get CPR training and safety equipment The fire department will use $600,000 to buy CPR training tools, fire investigation equipment, and supplies for Project Safe Haven, a program that reduces fire risk in homes.

The bigger picture

Better fire safety education reaches more St. Paul residents The grant also funds public education and media equipment, so the fire department can teach residents how to prevent fires and respond to emergencies more effectively.

What to watch

Grant approval is not guaranteed by federal government This resolution only lets the fire department apply for the money; FEMA may reject or reduce the grant request, so St. Paul may not receive the full $600,000.
