Big Cypress National Preserve » Construct Fire Station at Big Cypress National Preserve Headquarters Complex » Document List

The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing to update and increase the efficiency of the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) Fire and Aviation Program by constructing a modern, safe, and efficient Fire Operations Center (FOC). The new FOC and associated facilities will be constructed in a centralized location near the BICY Headquarters Complex in Ochopee, FL. The project will address the current inadequacies of the fire facilities. A new streamlined FOC will be instrumental in helping NPS meet its annual goal of >125,000 acres of prescribed fire in BICY.

A newsletter can be found under documents, and an Environmental Assessment is planned for public review from April 17 to May 17.
