As Native American Heritage Month comes to a close, we are highlighting the success of the BIA Forestry and Wildland Fire Management Reserve Treaty Rights Lands (RTRL) Program. Over the last ten years, Indian country and partners have restored and treated over 131,000 acres, supporting healthier forests, safer communities, and the protection of culturally significant landscapes. The RTRL Program is rooted in history, traditional knowledge, and long-standing cultural practices. Learn more about the RTRL program: https://www.bia.gov/service/fuels-management Many land managers are focused on fuels management projects, including prescribed burning, throughout the fall. Wildland fire agencies apply a variety of fuels management techniques to reduce the amount of available fuel (vegetation) that fuels unwanted wildfires. By proactively removing fuel, fire agencies are better protecting local communities from risk of wildfire. 🔥More NFN: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn #NationalFireNews #FireYear2025 📸The BIA Pine Ridge Agency hazardous fuels reduction module completes a thinning project on the Oglala Sioux Reservation.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at NIFC! We’re grateful today and every day for wildland firefighters, support personnel, the families who stand behind them, and the communities we serve. #HappyThanksgiving

Strong leadership fuels remarkable achievements! Congratulations U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire for treating more acres this year than ever before in the program’s history.

This week, we’ve highlighted gratitude across the wildland fire community, for those who worked tirelessly on the fireline this year, for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and for the partnerships that strengthen our ... mission every day. Effective wildland fire response is built on collaboration. Wildland fire is truly an interagency effort, and we’re grateful for our federal, state, local, and Tribal partners who work alongside us throughout the fire year. Thank you for your continued dedication, teamwork, and shared commitment to protecting communities and the landscapes we all depend on.

As we observe Thanksgiving week, we take time to reflect on the people whose service paved the way for today’s wildland fire community. Here on the NIFC campus stands the Wildland Firefighters Monument, which is in some ways a ... stark contrast to the often-hectic pace here, particularly during a busy fire year. It's a quiet and serene location with over 350 plaques honoring fallen firefighters and those who dedicated their lives to the wildland fire mission. As we give thanks this week, we honor their service and legacy. They are never forgotten.

Thanksgiving week offers a moment to reflect on Fire Year 2025 and the ongoing work of our wildland firefighters and support personnel as we head into the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who spent their days fighting ... wildland fires and protecting communities and natural resources. And thank you to those continuing that important work now, whether on prescribed fire, initial attack, or preparing and planning for the year ahead.

Welcome to the Nation's Logistical Support Center

The United States federal wildland fire community is more than agencies and acronyms, it’s a nationwide team of dedicated public servants working together to protect people, communities, and landscapes. This interagency workforce brings together the wildland fire programs of the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, alongside the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Collectively, they manage wildland fire on nearly 700 million acres of federal public land, about one-fifth of the entire United States.

At the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), these agencies unite with key partners such as the National Association of State Foresters, U.S. Fire Administration, National Weather Service, and Department of Defense. Here, collaboration happens daily, sharing information, shaping policy, and coordinating resources to ensure a unified approach to wildland fire management.

In recent years, this shared mission has expanded beyond suppression. Fire management now includes hazardous fuels treatments, integrated fire and land-use planning, and other proactive strategies. These efforts aim not only to stop destructive wildfires, but also to promote healthy, resilient landscapes and safeguard natural resources. By working together, the wildland fire community strives to meet today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s.
