Abstract: The Cooperative Forestry
Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101
(note) Sec. 10) requires the Forest
Service to collect information about
wildfire suppression efforts by state and
local firefighting agencies in support of

information to the Forest Service
regarding state and local wildfire
suppression efforts. The Forest Service
is unable to assess the effectiveness of
the State and Private Forestry
Cooperative Fire Program without this

evaluate the information to determine if
the Cooperative Fire Program funds
used by state and local fire agencies
have improved fire suppression
capabilities. The Forest Service shares
the information with Congress as part of
the annual request for funding for this
program.
The information collected includes
the number of fires responded to by
state or local firefighting agencies
within a fiscal year, as well as the
following information pertaining to
such fires:
• Fire type (timber, structural, or
grassland);
• Size (in acres) of the fires;
• Cause of fires (lightning, campfires,
arson, etc.); and
• Suppression costs associated with
the fires.
The data gathered is not available from
any other sources.
