The receiving/supporting party will replace or reimburse for items lost, destroyed, or expended with items of like or similar standard from the fire cache or supply unit on the incident, or via an authorization for replacement using a unique request number. Insurance or other reimbursement options should be pursued, if such options are available, prior to replacement or reimbursement for lost, stolen or destroyed items. An Administrative Rate can be added to the total of the personnel, support equipment, and other approved reimbursements. The current standard Administrative Rate is 10% unless the Department has submitted an agency specific administrative rate to Cal EMA under the CFAA.

The form FSLA-5 must be signed by a responsible officer of the Department and by the Forest Service Incident Commander or Finance Chief and attached to the invoice. For Reimbursement under the terms of this CFPA all resource orders must be dispatched and processed by the Six Rivers LASSEN National Forest Emergency Communication CenterCenter (Susanville Interagency Fire Center (SIFC)).
