Increased Federal Funding for Fire Suppression and Emergency Response
This act increases federal financial support for states, local governments, and tribes in combating fires.

The act also facilitates reimbursement for pre-deployment preparedness actions.
Key points
The federal government will cover at least 75% of eligible fire management assistance costs, an increase from previous rules.
State, local, and Tribal governments can seek reimbursement for pre-deployment actions taken before a fire incident.
Clear rules will be established within three years for when the President can increase the federal cost share for fire assistance.
