To ensure the County’s air support readiness during wildfire season, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners approved contracts with four companies during their April 11, 2023, Business Meeting, and an additional company at the April 25 Business Meeting, all of whom may provide aerial support on wildland fires.
In 2021, the Board adopted the 5-year Fire Operating Plan — which sets forth roles and responsibilities for the County, the State, and the U.S. Forest Service during a wildfire response in Douglas County.
