The Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program is a program offered through the U.S. Forest Service. The program is used by DOFAW in acquiring federal excess property for firefighting. Equipment acquisition is wide and varied. Acquisition have included flight helmets, trucks, water tenders, and dozers. All the equipment is on loan to DOFAW and remains the property of the U.S. Forest Service. Any type of equipment can be acquired as long as it meets the requirements of the program.

A physical inventory of all equipment is done annually by the fire management staff on each Branch. A program review is done once every two years with U.S. Forest Service property management specialists from Region 5.
