BIA Wildland Fire Budget

Here is what the budget funds

Wildland Fire Preparedness Preparedness (Readiness & Support) Funds personnel and equipment 96% successful in keeping fires small Protection 63M burnable acres (24% of DOI) 100 Field units (59 BIA, 41 Tribal) Workforce Development Diminishing “bench depth” Recruitment & retention 3 new Tribal WF development crews

Wildland Fire Suppression Our Workload Firefighting Assets 482 primary (GS + Tribal) firefighters 208 Model 52 engines (~150 fully staffed) 9 helicopters; 8 helitack modules 7 Interagency Hotshot Crews Emergency Firefighters Surge capacity 2016: 1700 EFFs; $12M earnings

Fuels Management Reduces susceptibility to fires and fire intensity Fuels investments retain ecosystem resilience to wildfire Fuels investment can “Avoid Cost” of resource loss by 2x to 30x the cost of suppression

Indian Country Wildfire Prevention Most damaging wildfires are human-caused Human-caused fires reduced by avg of 2,100/yr: Before prevention: 5,600/yr 30 Prevention Programs serving over 200 Tribes Prevention Investment: $1 invested = $16 avoided

Post-Wildfire Recovery Burned Area Rehabilitation Facilitate recovery of fire-affected lands unlikely to recover to desired conditions Emergency Stabilization (Suppression) Protect life & property from post-wildfire effects Minimize degradation of critical natural/cultural resources
