The Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC) is the interagency focal point for coordinating the mobilization of resources between the twelve Federal and State Dispatch Centers of the Southwest Area and, when necessary, the National Coordination Center in Boise, ID, for assignment throughout the nation.  Located in Albuquerque, NM, the SWCC mobilizes resources for wildland fire, prescribed fire, and other all-risk incidents. In addition, the Center provides Predictive Services and Intelligence related-products in support of incident management decision-making for wildland fire managers and on-the-ground wildland firefighters. 

There are four primary components to the SWCC website:

• Incident Information provides general information pertaining to wildland fire, agency and unit contact numbers, and and other relevant information that may be useful to the general public and news media.
• Logistics Operations is designed to provide operational and managerial services specific to aviation, crews, equipment and supplies, and overhead (including IMT's).
• Predictive Services is the decision support section of the site designed to provide operational products and services to the wildland fire manager.
• Fire Management and Administration is designed to assist the wildland fire manager by providing various tools in order to make fire management programs work.

PLEASE NOTE: The primary audience for the information provided on the SWCC website is the active wildland firefighting community for the purpose of planning and tactical operations. As such, this site is not designed to be the primary general wildland fire information website (see Site Disclaimer) for the Southwest Area.  Each state (AZ, NM, TX, and OK) has their own established site, which can be found via the Incident Information page.
