Relating to creating a database of the firefighting equipment in the state available for use in responding to wildfires.
SB 767 requires the Texas A&M Forest Service to create and maintain a real-time statewide database tracking all firefighting equipment available for wildfire response. The database must list equipment types, department contact information, allow searches by location or equipment, and be accessible for fire departments to update annually or after changes. It directly affects all fire departments in Texas, including volunteer departments and emergency services districts, which must report their available equipment. This policy change aims to improve coordination during wildfires by providing instant access to shared resources across the state.
