These fires are paid for from the state emergency fund (if a state responsibility fire) or the Forest Service budget (if a federal responsibility fire). If the fire burns across multiple jurisdictions the costs are shared. The Federal government will also reimburse the state for 75% of the costs via a Fire Management Assistance Grant if it’s a qualifying fire. If during the course of investigating the fire it is determined it was caused by someone who was violating the law the state will go after them to recover the costs of putting out the fire.

Do the people living in a fire zone pay for the all the Fire Aircraft/ trucks/ personnel? What budget pays for this? Seems like the county should tax these out laying homes more money than city folk.

Rural dwellers pay a cal fire fee. Where do you think food comes from, the grocery store? Everyone in California is essentially in a fire zone as evidenced by entire neighborhoods being burned up in Northern California and Southern California. Don’t think because you live in an apartment somewhere you deserve some kind of discounted tax.
