' All fire protection activities: prevention, other presuppression, suppression, fuels reduction or modification, and assistance to rural communities. 
? Non-Federal protected lands are forest industry, other private, and State and local government lands under the jurisdiction of State fire protection programs. 
Some Federal lands protected by these programs may be included. 
* All Federal expenditures for administration, technical assistance, cooperative projects, grants to States, and the value of Federal property given or loaned 
to States. 
* State expenditures as reported to the Forest Service. State expenditures start from the year each State established its cooperative program: 1915—NC, 
VA; 1916-TX; 1918-LA; 1921-TN; 1924-AL; 1925—GA; 1926—-MS, OK; 1927-SC; 1928-FL; 1933-AR. 
* Converted to 1982 dollars by dividing the expenditures in current dollars by the implicit price deflators for gross national product for total Federal 
Government purchases of goods and services through 1971 and for nondefense Federal Government purchases of goods and services for 1972-83, 
as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis. There is no implicit price deflator for gross national product for years prior 
to 1929.
