Interagency Fire Center

The Interagency Fire Center, officially known as the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), is a coordination hub in the United States that brings together multiple federal agencies involved in wildfire response, such as the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Its role is to organize and allocate resources like firefighting teams, equipment, and aircraft efficiently during wildfire emergencies. By coordinating efforts, sharing information, and planning strategically, the NIFC helps ensure a rapid and effective response to wildfires, ultimately protecting lives, property, and natural resources.
