The Oklahoma Forestry Services accepts applications annually for the Rural Fire Defense 80/20 Reimbursement Grant Program.

The program provides funding to rural fire departments serving a population of less than 10,000 for rural fire department equipment purchases or construction. The grants provide reimbursement of 80% of the total amount of the project. Grant recipients receive reimbursement only after the purchase or construction costs have been paid by the recipient.

September 1, annually.
