Permitting early deployment of state fire service resources in Washington.

The bill amends Washington state law to allow for the early mobilization of fire service resources in response to large-scale emergencies. It defines "mobilization" as the redistribution of regional or statewide risk resources to direct emergency assignments or communities in need. Resources can be deployed in response to natural or man-made incidents, including wildland fires, landslides, earthquakes, floods, and contagious diseases.
