Incident periodApr 10, 2008 – Apr 14, 2008DeclaredApr 10, 2008Closed outSep 13, 2012

The incident period is the official window of the disaster. Damage generally has to fall inside it to qualify for FEMA help, and FEMA sometimes extends it, or adds counties and programs, as damage assessments come in.

What a fire management declaration is

A fire management assistance declaration is approved by a FEMA regional administrator, not the President, while a fire is burning and threatens to become a major disaster. It reimburses state, local and tribal firefighting costs. It does not include help for individual households.
