FY2026 Thermal Imaging Camera Grant - Application Period Now Open

The application period for the FY2026 Thermal Imaging Camera Grant is now open. 

If your department is interested in applying for a Thermal Imaging Camera Grant to be awarded in Fiscal Year 2026, here are the steps to access the application:

 

1.      Log into KyFIRES

2.      Hover over Webforms and Resources on the left menu bar

3.      Select WebForm

4.      Click on FY2026 Thermal Imaging Camera Grant Application

 

Application may only be completed and submitted by authorized KyFIRES users ( i.e. those who are able to enter training and personnel records).

DEADLINE IS:  Sept 15, 2025 at 5:00 pm EST. 

Our goal is to make sure every department throughout the Commonwealth has at least one camera within their department.  Grants will be awarded based on a date stamp return AND eligibility as per KRS 95A.440. For your application to be considered by the Grants Committee, your department must also be compliant with State Aid requirements (if your department receives State Aid). 

KRS 95A.440 requires a two-year non-eligibility period.  If your department was awarded this grant in the past two fiscal years you ARE NOT eligible to apply at this time. 

Please send questions to firegrants@kctcs.edu.
