About the Council
The Wildland Fire Leadership Council (WFLC) was established in April 2002 by the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to provide an intergovernmental committee to support the implementation and coordination of Federal Fire Management Policy.

The Council meets regularly to provide oversight and coordination of the National Fire Plan and the Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy.
