The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region awarded a $568,374 Project Grant to the Northeastern Forest Fire Protection, doing business as the Northeast Forest Fire Compact, under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698). The grant, with a period of performance from August 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028, supports the Compact's efforts to coordinate wildland fire prevention, control, and management across the Northeastern United States and adjacent Canadian areas. Key grant-funded activities include operating regional fire dispatch centers, developing new fire management techniques, delivering leadership and incident management training, conducting fire risk mapping, and assisting member states with wildfire preparedness, response coordination, and public outreach on prevention. The grant also supports the Compact's work on invasive species control and prescribed fire management on partner lands.
