§ 55608 Fire Prevention Contract Powers

• •Fire officials can do their job in any county if there's an agreement.
• •They can stop fires and put them out, just like they do in their own area.
• •This is for keeping people and places safe from fires.

A big forest fire starts near a small town.

If the town's fire chief has an agreement with the state, the state's fire director can come in and help put out the fire, just like the town's fire chief would.
