Fire Departments: Faster Reimbursements for Fire Suppression Costs
New rules aim to make it easier for local fire departments to get reimbursed for fire suppression costs, especially on federal lands. This means more efficient operations for emergency services and better use of taxpayer money, leading to increased public safety.
Key points
Standardization of reimbursement procedures for fire departments to speed up payments.
Requirement for federal agencies to reimburse local fire departments upon invoice submission.
Recommendation for reimbursements to occur as soon as practicable, but no later than one year after the fire suppression.
