constitute a major disaster. The request must be submitted to the 
Regional Director and should address the relevant criteria listed in 
Sec. 204.21, with supporting documentation that contains factual data

we can process a State's request for a fire management assistance

request by telephone, promptly followed by written documentation (FEMA 
Form 90-58).
