Wildland fire agencies are organizations responsible for preventing, managing, and suppressing wildfires in forests, grasslands, and other natural areas. They include federal, state, and local agencies, as well as tribal nations, that work together to protect communities, resources, and ecosystems. These agencies conduct fire prevention education, controlled burns, and rapid response efforts to contain wildfires before they cause extensive damage. They use specialized equipment and trained personnel to manage and fight fires, emphasizing safety, environmental preservation, and community resilience.
