Health and Safety Reports
 

The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) coordinates firefighting efforts among Federal and State agencies. As part of its mandate to ensure current, shared information, a report on Wildland Firefighter Health and Safety issues will be published twice a year by the Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC). The report will include activities related to the MTDC project on firefighter health and safety, including summaries of research, abstracts of related reports, articles, and field notes. Also included will be announcements of upcoming events and practical approaches to manage fatigue, environmental stress, and other factors that compromise the health and safety of wildland firefighters.
