Description

Wildland fires have become increasingly damaging and costly. To deal with fire's threats, the five federal wildland fire agencies -- the Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture and four agencies in the Department of the Interior (Interior) -- rely on thousands of firefighters, fire engines, and other assets. To ensure acquisition of the best mix of these assets, the agencies in 2002 began developing a new interagency budget tool known as fire program analysis (FPA). FPA underwent major changes in 2006, raising questions about its ability to meet its original objectives. This report examines: (1) FPA's development to date, including the 2006 changes; and (2) the extent to which FPA will meet its objectives. Illustrations.
