Fire Program Overview

Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP)

 

Goal                                Ensure sufficient and economical rural community and wildland fire protection through
                                                    the loan of Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) to State Forestry
                                                    and rural fire departments.

 

Program Description    This program is authorized under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of
                                                1949, Pub. L. 94-519, and the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978, Pub. l
                                                95-313.  The FEPP program provides the opportunity for volunteer fire departments
                                                and the Alaska Division of Forestry to acquire personal property to supplement
                                                their basic fire equipment inventories at minimal cost.

                                            The Cooperative Fire staff assists Division of Forestry personnel by providing advice,
                                                guidelines, and assistance in the operation of the program, by coordinating with
                                                the General Services Administration (GSA) and assuring that proper administrative
                                                control is maintained.
