Here are some simple steps you can follow. ✔️Create defensible ... space. Clear your yard of dead leaves, brush, and debris, especially around structures. ✔️Stay informed. Check local burn restrictions, keep an eye on local fire conditions, and have an emergency kit ready. ✔️Check your equipment. Ensure outdoor equipment is in good condition. 📸Ben Hoke, BLM

#NationalFireNews: March 7, 2025. Since yesterday, 7 new large fires have been reported in the Southern area, three of which have been 100% contained. A complex incident management team is mobilizing to the Covington Drive Fire in ... South Carolina. Active fire behavior is reported on the NE 90th Way Fire in Florida and the Devils Jumps Fire in Tennessee. The National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group moved to National Preparedness Level 2 on March 4. This is due to a significant increase in wildfire activity in multiple geographic areas, coupled with the potential for additional emerging wildfires this week. There has also been an increase in committed resources to ongoing incidents across the country. So far in Fire Year 2025, 8,005 wildfires have burned 168,4768 acres across the United States. This is above the 10-year average of 5,753 wildfires and below the 10-year average acreage of 271,596. This is the second time in 2025 that the National Preparedness Level increased to 2. On January 9, the level increased to 2 for about three weeks in support of the wildfires in southern California. 🔥More NFN: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn 📸Photo courtesy of The South Carolina Forestry Commission

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.
