The NWCG – Fire Shelter Task Group is pleased to announce the launching of a new website. The purpose of the Fire Shelter System website is to offer a centralized consistent communication site that provides information to meet the program support and safety needs of the agencies and firefighters. The website includes ongoing information, education, and life-cycle planning on the fire shelter program.

The website is now available at
