S.A.F.E. Grants:

• FY 2012 S.A.F.E. Grant Year-End Report Form 
  Here is the FY 2012 Grant Year End Report Form. Reports are due at the Department of Fire Services by Friday, February 1, 2013. It includes a form to request a six-month extension if any FY ’12 funds remain as of December 31, 2013. You must either request an extension in order to be able to spend those funds or return them. The document also includes the Final Budget Worksheet you will need to submit by July 31, 2013 if you apply for and receive an extension.
  
  In an effort to simplify the reporting process, we have included examples of properly completed forms, and modified the instructions. However, please call the S.A.F.E. staff at (978) 567-3388 with any questions.
