ID request
Casey applied for a 2018 Fire Prevention grant application project number on the first-day-he-knew-about-it and the last-day-one-could-apply-for-the-darn-thing. That would be November 20, 2018.
That request was granted Dec 3, 2018 around 8 in the morning! amazing.

Bootstrapping ID
A few days later another email arrived with a NIFC ID and temporary password. This ID is used to do the grant work flow. Part of what has to happen is to define the geographic area the Proposal will address.

When this account was created an invitation was extended to a group called 'Fire Prevention Grants FY18-19.' The accompanying letter asked for a survey to be completed, and for a bit of GIS mapping to be done. The survey is simply contact information. The mapping involves using ARCGIS ( Casey's used this before ) to mark the general region ( Butano Canyon ) and then specific spots. Of course CalFire understands that some grants won't have 'specific work areas.'
