National Interagency Fire Center

The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) is a central hub in the United States for coordinating wildfire response efforts. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service and involving multiple federal and state agencies, NIFC ensures effective firefighting resources are deployed where needed. It provides support, training, and logistics to combat wildfires, particularly during peak fire seasons. Located in Boise, Idaho, NIFC plays a crucial role in managing fire emergencies, sharing information, and enhancing collaboration between agencies, ultimately aiming to protect lives, property, and the environment from the impacts of wildfires.
