42 U.S.C. § 1856d: Funds

Summary

Agency heads may use the money they have for fire protection on their installations or related activities to carry out these fire-protection duties. Payments they receive for providing fire protection normally must be deposited into the U.S. Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. If the Department of Defense or the Department of Agriculture pays back costs for fire protection, that reimbursement must be returned to the same fund that paid the original expenses, or if that fund is no longer available, to a current fund used for the same purpose. Money put back must follow the same rules as that fund.
