About
The Hazardous Fuels Reduction Grant focuses on reducing the risk of wildland fire and catastrophic losses to resources and property in high priority areas, which may result from a wildland fire encroaching from adjacent National Forest System (NFS) lands.
Projects shall be located within an average fire weather single-day burn window of NFS treatments units; generally interpreted to be 3-5 miles in western and central Montana and 10 miles in eastern Montana, subject to forest conditions. Project initiation must be in advance and within three years of planned hazardous fuels reduction activities on adjacent NFS lands.
