A consortium of the eight existing forest fire compacts representing 43 states and all of Canada except one province and one territory. State forest fire programs are reinforced through forest fire compacts between the states. Established under the Weeks law and other specific legislation enacted by Congress, state forest fire compacts reduce wildfire suppression costs for local, state and Federal jurisdictions by allowing states to share personnel and equipment and by minimizing the fire fighting burden on any single state during periods of high fire occurrence.
