The
Eastern Area Coordination Center (EACC) serves
federal and state wildland fire agencies within the
twenty-state
Eastern Area (EA). EACC provides logistical support, resources,
and intelligence for anticipated and ongoing wildland fire activity.
EACC facilitates movement of resources (people, aircraft, ground
equipment) among the
EA member agencies and
their individual units. EACC monitors wildfire potential, weather,
and wildland fire use within the EA. EACC also responds to requests
for support to other geographic areas from the
National
Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) at Boise, ID.
