🔥 Saturday reminder: Many everyday activities can unintentionally spark a wildfire. Nearly 37,000 human-caused wildfires have already burned 1.5 million acres during Fire Year 2025.
Let’s work together to prevent the ... preventable. By reducing human-caused wildfires, we allow firefighters to focus on lightning-caused fires, and help protect our firefighters, communities, and natural landscapes.

This week’s Wildfire Week in Review takes you across the country to where wildland firefighters and support personnel have been hard at work, responding to wildfires, protecting communities, and safeguarding natural landscapes. ...
So far this year, 39,169 wildfires have burned nearly 3 million acres.
As of July 25, 2025, all geographic areas remain at Preparedness Level (PL) 3 or below, while the national level remains at PL4.

National Fire News: July 25, 2025. Two new large fires were reported since yesterday morning for a national total of 53. 13,720 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned, including 298 crews, 578 engines, and 113 ... helicopters. Some ebb and flow of activity at the national level throughout the fire year is not unusual, and the potential for new starts is always present.
Fire danger remains high in northern and eastern Nevada, where a new fuels and fire behavior advisory warns of critically dry vegetation, including standing dead trees and drought-stressed live fuels, along with above average grass growth. That mix creates the potential for fast-moving fires. See all current fuels and fire behavior advisories here: https://www.nifc.gov/nicc/predictive-services/fuels-fire-danger
Let’s work together to avoid adding to the statistics. Be sure to check local fire restrictions, secure trailer chains, and avoid driving or parking on dry grass. Put campfires completely out and never leave them unattended. As the National Fire Year Themes reminds us: it takes all of us to prevent wildfires.

Happy Birthday to us! 🎉
On this day in 1970, the National Interagency Fire Center was officially dedicated, though our roots go back closer to 1959. At the time, we were known as the Boise Interagency Fire Center. It wasn’t ... until 1993 that we adopted the name you know today to better reflect our national mission.
We’re proud to serve as the nation’s hub for wildland fire management. Today, NIFC brings together the following agencies on one campus:
Bureau of Land Management Fire
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire
BIA Forestry and Wildland Fire Management
National Park Service Fire and Aviation Management
U.S. Forest Service
National Association of State Foresters
US National Weather Service Boise Idaho
U.S. Fire Administration
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
We're also proud to have the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and Joint Fire Science Program here on campus.
Here's to continued interagency collaboration and service to the American public.

National Fire News: July 24, 2025. So far this year, nearly 37,000 human-caused wildfires have burned more than 1.5 million acres across the United States. That is more than ten times the number of lightning-caused fires. Each one ... of those preventable starts had the potential to put firefighters, communities, and landscapes at risk. Whether you are in California, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, or Florida, where human-caused fire activity is highest, your choices matter. It only takes a spark. Let’s not be the reason.
Today, 2 new large fires were reported and 63 remain uncontained, with more than 14,600 wildland firefighters and support personnel assigned across the country, including 318 crews, 649 engines, and 120 helicopters. These women and men are working long hours in tough conditions to protect lives, property, and our public lands.
Fire danger remains high across many areas, especially in northern and eastern Nevada, where a new fuels and fire behavior advisory warns of critically dry vegetation, including standing dead trees and drought-stressed live fuels, along with above average grass growth. That mix creates the potential for fast-moving fires when the spark is just right. ➡ https://www.nifc.gov/sites/default/files/NICC/2-Predictive%20Services/Fuels-Fire%20Danger/Fuels-Fire-Behavior-Advisory_Northern-and-Eastern-Nevada_20250724.pdf

MAFFS C-130 airtankers and support personnel have been deployed to Klamath Falls, Oregon to support wildland fire operations nationally.
Thank you for your support fighting wildfires, 302nd Airlift Wing!
As wildfire activity increases, so does the workforce at the Great Basin Incident Support Cache at NIFC.
Seasonal staff at the Returns Warehouse are now on board, working hard alongside permanent staff to clean, refurbish, and ... process durable inventory for reuse. After a wildfire incident in the Great Basin wraps up, materials are sent back to NIFC, where it's sorted and prepped for the next incident.
These behind-the-scenes pros make sure equipment is ready to go when our wildland firefighters and support personnel need it most.

Welcome to the Nation's Logistical 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.
