Vale Rangeland Fire Protection District

Request: $42,000

The Vale Rangeland Fire Protection Association (RFPA) is requesting disaster‑resilience funding to purchase and outfit a road grader that will be used to create and maintain fire breaks across rangeland protection area. The region faces increasingly severe wildfire seasons, and the ability to rapidly construct and reinforce fire breaks is one of the most effective tools we have to keep rangeland fires small, protect rural communities, and prevent large‑scale disasters.
