National Interagency Fuels Coordination
Group
The National Interagency Fuels Coordination Group was
established shortly after the National Fire Plan in
October of 2001 under the direction and guidance of
the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS), and National Park Service (NPS) as well
as the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service (FS).
The primary purpose of the group is to provide leadership
and coordination in uniting the Departments' resources
and fire management programs under a common purpose
for reducing risks to communities while improving and
maintaining ecosystem health. The primary goal is to
provide assistance and guidance in the development and
implementation of an effective interagency fuels
management program including addressing risks from severe
fires in WUI communities and restoring healthy ecological
systems in other wildland areas.
The Fuels Group consists of five primary members,
fuels lead representative for each agency, an executive
secretary, advisors including subject matter experts,
and workgroups chartered and/or under the direction
of the group.
