The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,207,162 project grant to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance federal grant program (CFDA 10.698). The grant will support wildland fire prevention, control, and prescribed use services on non-federal forest and rural lands in New York from Aug 2021 through Dec 2024. Specifically, funding will assist the state with controlling rural fires and developing/transferring technologies for fire prevention and suppression on non-federal forest areas and other rural private lands. The award furthers the program's goals of cooperating with state foresters or equivalent state officials to help protect non-federal forest and other rural lands from wildland fires.
