California Wildland Fire Direct Protection Areas - 2026 (USFS)

Each polygon has attribute information indicating the agency or organization with primary responsibility for wildland fire suppression in that area. Direct Protection Areas (DPA) are the areas which, by law or pursuant to the terms of this agreement, are provided wildland fire protection by the State or the Federal Agencies.

DPA may include a mixture of state and federal responsibility areas (defined by the California Master Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Stafford Act Response Agreement [CFMA]).
