Costs for mobilizing and demobilizing resources to and from a declared fire may be eligible for reimbursement under the Fire Management Assistance Grant Program.

• Mobilization is the process used for activating, assembling, and transporting all resources the Recipient requested to respond to or support a declared fire
• Demobilization is the process of deactivating, disassembling, and transporting back to their point of origin all wildland firefighting resources that had been provided to respond to and support a declared fire
• Eligible demobilization costs may be incurred after the close of the incident period, when the fire is controlled, and may be claimed at a delayed date after other eligible costs
• If resources are continuously mobilized throughout multiple declared/non-declared fires, incurred eligible de-mobilization costs may be claimed once, for the last declared fire where the resource was actually used
