DCNR - FOREST FIRE SUPPRESSION
101-4196
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Forest Fire Suppression Account funds expenses necessary to protect life, property, and natural resources from fire, flood, and other natural or human caused emergencies. The program
is funded with a combination of General Fund appropriations, reimbursements paid to Nevada Division of Forestry (NDF) for firefighting efforts made on behalf of others, and Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Fire Management Assistance Grants and sub-grants. The agency turns to the Interim Finance Contingency Fund and the Disaster Relief Fund
when funds are insufficient to meet the state's obligations each year. Although costs have steadily increased over the last ten years, they are a fraction of what the state would be responsible
for if it were to rely solely on federal and local government cooperators to provide these services. Statutory Authority: NRS 472.
BASE
This request continues funding for operating costs. One-time expenditures have been eliminated and partial year costs have been annualized.
