NW MAC 2008

The Northwest Multi-Agency Coordinating Group (NW MAC) works to provide adequate firefighting resources to meet current and anticipated needs, and decides where to allocate resources most effectively during periods of shortages. The MAC is responsible for:

• Prioritizing incidents
• Allocating or reallocating firefighting personnel and equipment
• Facilitating Federal and State disaster response
• Keeping agency heads and media informed
• Identifying and resolving issues common to all parties

The Pacific Northwest MAC team consists of the Bureau of Land Management, USDA Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Washington State Department of Natural Resources and two representatives from the Oregon and Washington State Fire Marshal offices.
