Virginia Fire Programs Fund (VFPF) - Aid to Localities (ATL)

Financial assistance is provided to cities, counties and incorporated towns throughout the state by offering a variety of grant opportunities.

The Virginia Fire Programs Fund is derived from one percent of fire-related insurance coverage. Approximately 75 percent of the total fund goes directly to counties, cities and incorporated towns within the Commonwealth as Aid to Localities (ATL). ATL provides Virginia cities, towns and counties with funds to pay for training, construction of training centers, fire fighting equipment and protective clothing. Allocations are population-based.
