The chief of the division of forestry may establish and put into effect a system for
aerial or ground detection and observation of forest fires which shall cover the regions
determined by the chief to be subject to forest fires, purchase the necessary equipment
and material, and hire the necessary labor for the installation and maintenance of
the system. The chief may enter into agreements or contracts with firefighting agencies and private
fire companies for the purpose of providing mutual aid and assistance in the protection
of forests from forest fires in fire protection areas established under section 1503.08 of the Revised Code . The agreements or contracts may provide for at least technical assistance, assistance
in training personnel, and fire suppression assistance and such other forms of aid
as may be available and appropriate. The chief, with the approval of the director of natural resources, may transfer title
to or ownership of vehicles, equipment, materials, and supplies that are determined
to be in excess of the needs of the department of natural resources and the division
to a firefighting agency or private fire company for the purpose of accomplishing
fire suppression in fire protection areas. As used in this section, “firefighting agency” and “private fire company” have the
same meanings as in section 9.60 of the Revised Code .
