Wildland fires burn millions of acres each year, requiring substantial investments of firefighting assets. Since 2000, fed. suppression costs alone have averaged more than $1 billion annually. Wildland fires can burn or threaten both fed. & non-fed. lands & resources, including homes in or near wildlands, an area commonly called the wildland-urban interface. Cooperative agreements between fed. & non-fed. firefighting entities provide the framework for working together & sharing costs.
