#NationalFireNews: Wildland fire knows no borders and neither does the spirit of cooperation that defines our fire community. This week, National Interagency Fire Center partners are mobilizing approximately 150 federal ... firefighting personnel to support wildfire suppression efforts in Canada, where fire activity has escalated significantly. In response to extreme conditions, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) has raised its National Preparedness Level to 5, the highest level. Firefighters and support personnel from several U.S. federal wildland fire agencies are preparing to assist in Alberta and Manitoba. Resources include a complex incident management team, fireline management personnel, and several interagency hotshot crews. Continued coordination at both the national and geographic levels will ensure that we remain at appropriate staffing levels across the country to assist with current and expected fire conditions in the U.S. For more information on how we support other countries, visit our International Support page at nifc.gov/fire-information/international-support and follow National Fire News at nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn.

#NationalFireNews: May 30, 2025. As of today, there are nine large wildfires under full suppression strategies across five geographic areas. 27,733 fires have been reported in fire year 2025 thus far, for a total acreage of ... 1,146,230. This is above the 10-year averages of 20,850 fires and 1,151,434 acres. Fuels and fire behavior advisories are in place for southeast Arizona and the White Mountains/Gila Region and southcentral New Mexico Mountains. For a look at predicted fire risk through August 2025, see the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook through the predictive services link below. The National Firefighter Registry for Cancer is active and accepting participants. Participation is voluntary but important. The data gathered helps determine firefighter cancer risk and could directly influence future coverage, safety protocols, and support systems for our community. This is for all current or former firefighters, not only those who have or have had cancer. As we move into the summer, many of us are excited to get outside and enjoy our public lands. Protect these special places by holding yourself and your group to high standards of fire awareness and safety. Put out campfires by dousing them with water, stirring the coals with a shovel, and repeating. Your campfire should be cool to the touch before you leave the area or go to sleep. Set a good example and teach your children good campfire safety practices. 🔥More NFN: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn 🔥Outlooks and advisories: https://www.nifc.gov/nicc/predictive-services ➡National Firefighter Registry for Cancer: https://nfr.cdc.gov/

Welcome to the Nation's Logistical Support Center

Support Center

The United States federal wildland fire community is a vast network of dedicated public servants, made up of the combined wildland fire workforces 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, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Together, these agencies manage wildland fire on nearly 700 million acres of federal public land, approximately one-fifth of the total land area in the United States.

NIFC is home to the national wildland fire management programs of these federal agencies, in addition to partners including the National Association of State Foresters, the U.S. Fire Administration, the National Weather Service, and the Department of Defense. These entities work together to provide leadership, policy oversight, and coordination to the nation’s wildland fire programs.

In recent years, the shared mission 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 and more diverse umbrella aims not only to achieve fire suppression goals, but to accomplish a broad spectrum of natural resource objectives in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
