National Fire News: July 11, 2025. Weather conditions and very dry fuels are challenging firefighting efforts across the country. As of this morning, 11 new large wildfires have been reported, bringing the national total to 36 ... large fires that remain uncontained. Fire managers are using a variety of strategies to meet suppression goals, with 75 incidents being guided by objectives beyond full perimeter containment. More than 11,400 wildland firefighters and support personnel are currently assigned to these efforts. In support of our international partners, one incident management team and five overhead personnel from the United States remain assigned to large fire support in Canada, an ongoing example of the global nature of wildland fire response. With many families camping, hiking, and enjoying public lands this time of year, it’s more important than ever to recreate responsibly. Campfires, stoves, and even vehicle exhaust systems can become ignition sources under dry and windy conditions. Clear vegetation away from your fire or cooking area, keep water nearby, and never leave a fire unattended. Before you go, check local fire restrictions and make sure your gear is spark-safe. A new fuels and fire behavior advisory has been issued for eastern Nevada, where fine fuels, especially grasses, are critically dry and continuous. In these areas, even small ignitions can lead to fast-moving wildfires with extreme behavior.

From New Jersey to the West Coast, interagency support is on the move! Firefighting resources from across the country assembled this morning at our mobilization center at the National Interagency Fire Center to form a unique ... firefighting task force. Fire engines, dozers, a hand crew, and a water tender arrived from New Jersey, Wisconsin, Missouri, Virginia, New Mexico, Illinois, Minnesota, and Idaho representing U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire, National Park Service Fire and Aviation Management, Bureau of Land Management Fire, BIA Forestry and Wildland Fire Management, U.S. Forest Service, and National Association of State Foresters (New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Minnesota). This task force is now headed from Boise, Idaho to central Oregon to assist in suppression of new wildfires. With their composition of resources and experienced firefighters, they'll be a valuable asset to quickly respond to and suppress new fires. The national mobilization system works to move firefighters from areas with low fire danger to those facing high fire danger. In this way, the interagency wildland firefighting programs support local fire agencies and responders by boosting capacity when fire activity increases.

National Fire News: July 10, 2025. Across the country, thirteen new large fires were reported since yesterday morning, for a total of 34 large fires being suppressed and 70 being managed under strategies other than full ... suppression. More than 8,600 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents, including a complex incident management team assisting fire suppression efforts in Canada. Initial attack activity is increasing throughout multiple geographic areas with a corresponding increasing demand for firefighting resources. A fuels and fire behavior advisory is in place in southwest Utah, where critically dry grasses and shrubs are fueling fast-moving fires. Each year, thousands of fires in the United States are caused by people. Major causes of these fires include loss of control of debris burning, unattended or unextinguished campfires, and sparks or heat transfer from vehicles and equipment like chainsaws or recreational vehicles.

National Fire News: July 8, 2025. Across the country, three new large fires were reported since yesterday morning, for a total of 32 large fires being suppressed, and 81 being managed under strategies other than full suppression. ... More than 8,200 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents, including a complex incident management team and overhead personnel assisting fire suppression efforts in Canada. Wildfire activity is increasing across several regions, with July bringing above normal potential in the Great Basin, Southwest, Northern Rockies, and parts of California and the Northwest. In southwest Utah, critically dry grasses and shrubs are fueling fast-moving fires. What do we mean when we say “strategies other than full suppression”? When wildland fires threaten communities, historic places, natural resources, etc., firefighters will usually attempt to suppress the fire (put it out) completely. However, sometimes the strategy that is more ecologically healthy or safe is to allow naturally-ignited fires (usually lightning strikes) to spread naturally and self-extinguish, particularly in ecosystems that are adapted to fire. Sometimes firefighters will suppress one flank of the fire but allow it to continue burning in another direction (away from people and infrastructure!). Wildland fire managers are responsible for determining which management tool is right for the situation at hand. 🔥More NFN: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn #NationalFireNews #FireYear2025

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.
