Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2008NASF works with federal wildland fire agencies, representatives of local government jurisdictions, and federal and state emergency management organizations to address wildland fire issues of national concern to state and territorial governments. Below are some useful links related to wildland fire issues.
- Complex Incident Management Courses (CIMC)
- Firewise
- Incident Qualification System (IQS)
- Interagency Prescribed Fire Training Center
- International Association of Fire Chiefs
- National Database of State and Local Wildfire Hazard Mitigation Programs
- National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC): located in Boise, Idaho, NIFC is the nation's support center for wildland firefighting. Eight different agencies and organizations are part of NIFC. Decisions are made using the interagency cooperation concept because NIFC has no single director or manager.
- Quadrennial Fire Review (QFR): most recently published in 2009, the QFR is a document designed to take a long look at the nation’s wildland fire program, and with an eye toward the future, identify risks and conditions that could affect fire management over the next four years and beyond.
- Roscommon Equipment Center (REC): a cooperative program between NASF and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, develops and tests equipment for wildland fire control. REC specializes in the conversion of U.S. military vehicles to wildland fire suppression units. It also focuses on the equipment development needs of state and local wildfire forces.
