The FPPA makes it easier for unincorporated communities to initiate fire prevention programs by enabling members of community fire safety teams to be designated as assistants to the Fire Marshal.
The Fire Marshals Act had provision for fire protection teams to provide fire prevention and fire protection services in territories without municipal organization. The FPPA does not use the term "fire protection team". Instead, organizations which were formerly known as fire protection teams and which provide suppression services will be recognized as fire departments. In the legislation, fire departments are given specific powers which are now provided to the former fire protection teams as well.
