Funding of fire prevention measures in Upper Austria

The Upper Austrian Fire Prevention Office supports private individuals, public institutions, companies, and associations in Upper Austria with financial grants for a variety of fire prevention measures. The aim of the funding is to comprehensively increase safety against fire and explosions. Eligible services include not only practical training and further education offerings but also extensive informational events. Furthermore, professional investigations into fire and explosion causes are funded, as well as individual consultations and the development of tailored fire protection concepts. The acceptance and technical inspection of fire protection equipment, as well as expert assessments, also fall within the scope of funding. These measures help to identify risks early and implement sustainable solutions.

A continuously open application process at the Upper Austrian Fire Prevention Office forms the basis for granting a subsidy amounting to 19% of the eligible expenses. An unlimited application deadline enables flexible project planning and facilitates participation even at short notice. The legal basis is the Upper Austrian Fire Police Act in its current version. Submission requires a formal application containing all relevant documentation and project descriptions. This transparent and low-threshold funding modality ensures that even smaller businesses and organizations can benefit from standardized fire protection solutions. Thus, the funding makes a significant contribution to strengthening disaster protection as well as securing social and economic institutions in Upper Austria.
