| The National
Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho is the nation's

USDA Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National
Park Service, National Association of State Foresters, National
Weather Service, Office of Aircraft Services, and United States
Fire Administration. Also located at NIFC, the National
Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) works with GACCs,
as well as other countries, to coordinate land management agency
response for wildland fire at the national level. |
