Look up or verify a fire department's basic identifying/registration info (for grant applications, vendor onboarding, or market research) using FEMA's National Fire Department Registry

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Search or browse the registry at apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry for a specific department by name/state
Use the bulk CSV download (apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/download) if you need to cross-reference many departments at once rather than searching one at a time
Remember registration is voluntary — the registry has historically covered roughly 90%+ of U.S. fire departments, so a department's absence doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist
For departments missing or with stale info, direct them to apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/register to self-register or update their listing
Known gotchas
The registry is self-reported and voluntary — treat it as a directory aid, not an authoritative legal registry of all fire departments
Contact info and department details are only as current as the department's last self-update; don't assume real-time accuracy for operational decisions
