Cooperative Fire
The Cooperative Fire Assistance Program includes both State and Volunteer Fire Assistance for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. It is part of State and Private Forestry's initiative to support the commonwealth/territories in maintaining and enhancing coordination and communications with Federal agencies in wild land fire prevention and suppression efforts. The emphasis is on improving fire planning, initial attack capabilities, Incident Command System and wild land fire techniques training for local fire agencies.
In Puerto Rico the fire program is coordinated and managed through two agencies: The Fire Department (Bomberos) for preparedness and suppression of structural, urban interface, and wild land fires. The Dept. of Natural and Environmental Resource agency is responsible for restoration, rehabilitation, prevention, and education.
