    Summary

    The primary goal of the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund (RSAF) is to financially assist governmental, volunteer and non-profit EMS agencies to purchase EMS equipment and vehicles and provide needed EMS programs and projects. RSAF is primarily a reimbursement grant that requires the grantee to make the purchase for the awarded item(s) and then submit an invoice for reimbursement.


    RSAF grants may be approved for the following:

    • Establishment of a new EMS agency, program, or service where needed to improve emergency medical services offered in an area;
    • Expansion or improvement of an existing EMS agency, program, or service;
    • Replacement of equipment or procurement of new equipment; or
    • Establishment, expansion or improvement of EMS training programs

    NOTE: OEMS maintains a list that represents an average price of EMS vehicles, EMS equipment, communications equipment, and EMS education programs frequently requested under RSAF. This list is based on current market pricing and is not all-inclusive. RSAF awards for items maintained on this list shall not exceed the approved amount
