The Illinois Department of Natural Resources was awarded a $572,286 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance federal grant program (CFDA 10.698). The grant will support fire prevention, control, and prescribed use of fires on non-federal forest and rural lands in Illinois from September 2021 through September 2024. Specifically, the Department will assist in controlling rural fires and developing/transferring new approaches to fire prevention and suppression on non-federal forest lands and other rural areas in the state. The funding and period of performance will allow the Department to deliver these services to protect non-federal forest resources and communities in Illinois from wildfires through 2024.
