SOUTH DAKOTA WILDLAND FIRE
Wildland Fire has 10 separate but interdependent program functions that address fire management and suppression. Each program function represents a specific management need but is dependent and impacted by the other program functions. None of the program functions can stand-alone and still meet their responsibilities as defined by state law.
The 10 functional program areas are:
- Fire Suppression
- Prescribed Fire
- Wildland Fire Training
- Fire Aviation Support
- Fire Management
- Hazardous Fuels Mitigation
- Volunteer Fire Assistance Grants
- Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) and Firefighter Property (FFP)
- Dispatch
- Fire Prevention
Each program area supports the functions of the others. Changes in any one area directly impacts all areas.
