Incident Business Management

Welcome to the Florida Division of Forestry’s Incident Business Management website. This site was established to provide current all-risk incident business information to employees and cooperators that work with or assist the Division of Forestry with managing incidents.

On the site you will find information and downloadable copies of the Division’s incident business rules, Cooperative Fire Protection agreements, annual operating plans, cost share agreements, table of equipment rates, contact information and links to other useful incident business sites. Although the public may find the site interesting, it was primarily established for those that need incident business information.
