Mission statement
The Volusia County Wildland Fire Coordinating Group (VCWFCG) is made up of representatives of County agencies, state and federal landowners, private landowners, the Volusia County Fire Chiefs Association, two At-Large representatives with interest in this county and a coordinator.
The purpose of the Volusia County Wildland Fire Coordinating Group (VCWFCG) is to serve as an advisory committee to coordinate programs of the participating stakeholders, so as to avoid wasteful duplication and to provide a means of constructively working together.
The goal of this partnership is to provide a more efficient execution of each stakeholders fire program. The group provides a formalized system to agree upon standards of training, equipment, suppression priorities and tactics, wildland/urban interface fire protection (including fuels management) and private landowners concerns. Agreed upon standards, and procedures are implemented directly through regular partnerships of stakeholders.
