Through an agreement with the Department of Defense (administered by the USDA Forest Service), DOF can obtain surplus military equipment that can be used by emergency service providers. The major difference between this program and the Federal Excess Personal Property Program ( FEPP ) is that qualifying organizations may be eligible to receive ownership of the equipment with few restrictions on use or disposal and at no cost.

Available equipment under the Firefighter Property Program consists of the following: Vehicles, such as pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, 2½ ton trucks, 5-ton trucks, utility vans and box trucks Fire trucks (tankers and pumpers) Hoses, nozzles, and pumps Fire departments interested in the program should submit DOF’s Form 4.
