New Mexico Master Cooperative Wildland Fire Management Response Agreement<\/h2>\n

Wildfire does not stop at a jurisdictional boundaries and federal, state, local, and tribal governments work together to mitigate wildfire impacts. The joint wildfire response activities are governed by a Master Cooperative Wildland Fire Management Response Agreement (WFMR)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the WFMR is to document the commitment of the Parties to this Agreement to improve efficiency by facilitating the coordination and exchange of personnel, equipment, supplies, services, and funds among the Parties to this Agreement in sustaining wildland fire management activities, such as prevention, preparedness, communication and education, fuels treatment and hazard mitigation, fire planning, response strategies, tactics and alternatives, suppression, and post-fire rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

For Federal Agencies, only, in addition to improving efficiency in addressing wildland fire management activities, this Agreement facilitates improved coordination regarding other incidents. The National Response Framework (NRF) applies to all federal departments and agencies that may be requested to provide assistance or conduct operations during all-hazard events. However, this Agreement ONLY covers all-hazard events that are, or may become, declared as emergencies or major disasters that occur under the auspices of a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster under the Stafford Act, which may include wildland fire management and non-wildland emergencies or major disasters. These events may also require a coordinated response by an appropriate combination of state and tribal entities, along with the Federal Agencies.<\/p>\n
