The State Forest Fire Warden shall equip trained fire-fighting crews at major department field facilities and maintain them during periods when forest fires are most likely to occur. Such crews shall be prepared to respond to requests for assistance when a fire occurs on or endangers either state or private forest and timber land, or upon call from the United States Forest Service to assist them or any requesting state in the suppression of forest fires.
(1949 Rev., S. 3475; 1971, P.A. 872, S. 198; P.A. 75-313; P.A. 01-150, S. 5.)
History: 1971 act replaced state park and forest commission with environmental protection commissioner; P.A. 75-313 required maintenance of crews at major field facilities rather than at various state forests, required crews to respond when fire endangers forest or timber land, having substituted forest or timber land for the less specific “property”, where previously response required for fires which “occur” on state or private land, and required crews to respond upon call of U.S. Forest Service or a requesting state; P.A. 01-150 deleted obsolete reference to direction and supervision of the Commissioner of Environmental Protection.
