California Wildland Fire Direct Protection Areas - 2025 (USFS)

Direct Protection Area Polygons (DPA) as approved by the California Wildland Fire Coordinating Group (CWCG) as of June 2026. Each polygon has attribute information indicating the agency or organization with primary responsibility for wildland fire suppression in that area.  Direct Protection Areas (DPA) are the areas which, by law or pursuant to the terms of this agreement, are provided wildland fire protection by the State or the Federal Agencies. DPA may include a mixture of state and federal responsibility areas (defined by the California Master Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Stafford Act Response Agreement [CFMA]).   This feature service was published by Information Management Fire and Aviation GIS for Region 5 of the USDA Forest Service. The hosted feature service can be found here: https://services3.arcgis.com/T4QMspbfLg3qTGWY/arcgis/rest/services/CA_WF_Direct_Protection_Areas_Public/FeatureServer For more information on DPA, visit the California Wildland Fire Coordinating Group website.
