18 Do You Know the Name of this Fire?

19 Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) Created in 1967 by a group of concerned Counties Assessment based upon A/V and ability to grow forest / timber products Original Assessments were $320, Today 49 Counties generating approximately $1 million dollars Governed by a board comprised of three Commissioners, three Sheriff s, two Fire Chief s, and the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention and Control County money, not State, not Federal The Director is authorized to approve EFF

20 State Responsibility Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) A complexity analysis is completed The fire s complexity is rated on a series of factors including (but not limited to): fire behavior, values at risk, local capability, anticipated fire behavior If the fire meets a minimum threshold, a request is made by the Sheriff for the Director of the DFPC to assume responsibility DFPC assumes responsibility and serves as the Agency Administrator for the state on fire matters. This does NOT mean the Fire Chief, the Sheriff, the County Commissioners are not still at the table or that the State has taken over

21 State Responsibility with EFF Depleted EFF generates 1 million dollars.. The same complexity analysis is completed A funding source must be identified / approved prior to the state assuming responsibility Governor Disaster Declaration Disaster Emergency Funds (DEF) Executive Order Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) threatened structure thresholds and minimum state contributions FMAG reimburses 75% of State eligible costs
