Teton County Fire & Rescue

Teton County Fire & Rescue, doing business as Fire Protection District, is a local government entity and fire protection district registered in SAM.gov since December 2003 that provides fire prevention, suppression, and emergency response services to residents of Teton County, Idaho. The organization has engaged with the federal government through both contract and grant mechanisms, demonstrating a commitment to supporting wildfire mitigation and hazard reduction initiatives across the region. Teton County Fire & Rescue has established itself as a collaborative partner with federal and state agencies, bringing specialized expertise in resource management and fire protection activities to support landscape-level wildfire risk mitigation efforts.

Through federal contract awards, Teton County Fire & Rescue has provided land rental services to support operational and resource management needs. Specifically, on August 24, 2025, the U.S. Forest Service, Region 4 (Intermountain Region), awarded the organization a $3,000 firm fixed-price purchase order for land rental services at Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Idaho, with performance conducted in Ammon, Idaho and completion scheduled for August 30, 2025. This contract carried no set-aside designation and aligns with the Forest Service's broader wildfire mitigation and hazard reduction initiatives in the region. The land rental services procured under this purchase order directly support the agency's operational needs related to resource management and fire protection activities within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.

Regarding federal grant awards, Teton County Fire & Rescue has served as a sub-grantee under the Idaho Department of Lands as the prime grantee, with all awards focused on hazard fuel treatment and wildfire mitigation work on non-federal lands in Teton County. The organization received three sub-grant awards spanning from May 2021 through September 2024. The earliest award, dated May 4, 2021, supported the Teton County Southwest Zone Fuels Reduction Phase II project, conducting hazard fuel treatment work on non-federal lands adjacent to the U.S. Forest Service's South Valley Fuels Reduction project to create landscape-level wildfire hazard abatement. A second sub-grant award on September 28, 2021, continued this same effort under the Phase II project, linking previously completed work with USFS efforts on federal lands. Most recently, on September 19, 2024, Teton County Fire & Rescue received a sub-award to expand upon previous hazard fuel treatment work on non-federal lands in southwest Teton County to further enhance landscape-level wildfire hazard abatement. These grant awards demonstrate the organization's sustained involvement in collaborative, multi-agency wildfire risk reduction initiatives across both federal and non-federal properties in the Teton County region.
