Thanks for following us as we highlight support that agencies at NIFC provided in #FireYear2022. #DYK most of the supplies sent from the Great Basin Cache to incidents throughout the year are returned, refurbished, restocked and ... ready to be sent out again? In 2022, more than 600,000 items were issued to incidents and 401,116 came back to the Returns Warehouse where the staff worked to repair and clean the items to return them to the shelves. This is an efficient and effective system, largely based on cooperation and pooling of resources, proved over and over through decades. Most important, the Great Basin Cache quickly gets what is needed most by our #FirefightingResources and other emergency services personnel, allowing them to do their jobs safely while protecting lives, communities and natural resources.

Welcome to the Nation's Logistical Support Center

Support Center

The nation’s federal wildland fire community is a large and complex organization across the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs; and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. These agencies manage wildland fire on nearly 700 million acres of federal public land, or one-fifth of the total land area in the United States.

NIFC is home to the national fire management programs of each federal fire agency, along with partners including the National Association of State Foresters, the U.S. Fire Administration, and the National Weather Service. A Department of Defense liaison was added as a permanent partner at NIFC in 2008. Working together, these partners provide leadership, policy oversight and coordination to manage the nation’s wildland fire programs.

In recent years, the role of the agencies at NIFC has grown to include all types of fire management, including hazardous fuels treatments, integrated fire and land-use planning, and more. Fire management under this larger umbrella is designed to achieve not only suppression goals, but to accomplish a broad spectrum of natural resource objectives, and do so in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
