Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act

Summary

Wildfire Protection Assistance Act of 1988 - Authorizes agency heads to enter into reciprocal agreements with foreign fire organizations to provide wildfire protection for lands, resources, and other properties for which the agency normally provides such protection. Requires that such agreements allow for termination of the agreement by any party thereto after reasonable notice. Authorizes each agency head, in the absence of such agreement, to furnish emergency wildfire protection resources to any foreign nation and to accept such assistance from any any foreign fire organization when to do so is in the best interest of the United States. Requires an agency head to determine that no U.S. fire organization is reasonably available to provide such protection before spending funds for foreign wildfire protection.
