National Fire Plan

The National Fire Plan is a government initiative launched in 2000 to reduce the risk of wildfires and restore landscapes affected by fire. It focuses on improving forest management, such as thinning forests, removing fire hazards, restoring ecosystems, and supporting communities impacted by fires. The plan aims to protect lives, property, and natural resources by promoting safer fire practices, better firefighting resources, and restoring healthy forests. It emphasizes collaboration among federal agencies, states, tribes, and communities to prevent destructive wildfires and promote resilient, healthy landscapes.
