NWFFD was established in 2022
National Wildland Firefighter Day (NWFFD) recognizes the dedication of wildland firefighters, including federal, state, local, Tribal, military, rural, contract, and support personnel. July 2 is especially meaningful as it occurs during the Week of Remembrance, which is held annually June 30 to July 6, and serves as an opportunity to renew our commitment to wildland firefighter safety as we remember those who have fallen in the line of duty.
NWFFD is designed to recognize the hard work and devotion of all wildland firefighters and support personnel who are the backbone of the wildland fire community. These men and women work to save lives, property, infrastructure, and precious natural and cultural resources every year, and we are incredibly thankful for their professional skills and efforts. #ItTakesAllOfUs
