VISIBILITY
State foresters need to maintain periodic written and verbal contact with their field office personnel to ensure their currency in all aspects of the FEPP program, especially records and inventory accuracy, reviews, use, and overall program management.
Encourage contact with Members of Congress when FEPP fire
equipment is assigned to fire departments within their districts. Their
involvement is desirable at public ceremonies (such as "turning-over-keys"
to vehicles) to provide positive publicity for the FEPP Program in upgrading
rural fire departments, etc. Local newspapers are often glad to cover
this kind of event, as well.
