Fire Information:

As the name implies, Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management is a wide field, encompassing firefighters, fire ecologists, fuels specialists, fire managers, administrative personnel, helicopter and fixed wing pilots, aviation and ground safety professionals, radio communications and electronic technicians, dispatchers, fire prevention specialists, and communicators.

In the Southwest and across the country, fire's biological effects profoundly affect forests and grasslands. These "Fire Management" links describe prescribed fire and unwanted wildland fires. Aggressive fire suppression must remain an essential cornerstone of the Forest Service mission.
