HB 2751: interstate compact; fire management; aid

This bill authorizes Arizona's governor to join an interstate compact with neighboring states to coordinate forest fire prevention and control efforts across the Great Plains region. The agreement establishes a formal framework for member states to request and provide mutual aid, allowing firefighters and equipment from one state to assist another during emergencies while granting them the same legal powers and immunities as local workers. Financially, the compact requires the state receiving aid to reimburse the assisting state for expenses such as wages, transportation, and equipment damage, though states may choose to donate services or equipment without charge. The legislation also ensures that each member state must maintain its own adequate firefighting forces and clarifies that joining the compact does not limit a state's ability to enforce its own fire safety laws or cooperate with federal agencies.
