NIFC 2
NIFC 2 : National Interagency Fire Center. NIFC is the national support center for wildland firefighting. Seven federal and state agencies coordinate wildland fire operations: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, National Association of State Foresters, National Weather Service, and Office of Aircraft Services. In severe situations, a national MAC (Looked it up elsewhere in the source) group is activated. Representatives from the General Services Administration, the U.S. military, and Federal Emergency Management Agency may participate. The MAC group helps set priorities for critical and scarce equipment, supplies and personnel. Federal and state agencies share firefighting supplies, equipment and personnel to facilitate efficient and cost-effective firefighting or disaster management. Partnerships with state, local and rural agencies enhance these efforts. NIFC has a mutual assistance agreement with Canada
