What is it?
Grant programs such as the Rural Fire Assistance and The National Fire Plan (NFP) was developed in August 2000, following a landmark wildland fire season, with the intent of actively responding to severe wildland fires and their impacts to communities while ensuring sufficient firefighting capacity for the future. The NFP addresses five key points: Firefighting, Rehabilitation, Hazardous Fuels Reduction, Community Assistance, and Accountability.

The National Fire Plan (NFP) provides technical, financial, and resource guidance and support for wildland fire management across the U.S. Together, the USDA Forest Service and the Department of the Interior are working to successfully implement the key points outlined in the National Fire Plan (NFP) by taking the following steps:

  • Assuring that necessary firefighting resources and personnel are available to respond to wildland fires that threaten lives and property. More on this step »
  • Conducting emergency stabilization and rehabilitation activities on landscapes and communities affected by wildland fire. More on this step »
  • Reducing hazardous fuels (dry brush and trees that have accumulated and increase the likelihood of unusually large fires) in the country's forests and rangelands. More on this step »
  • Providing assistance to communities that have been or may be threatened by wildland fire. More on this step »
  • Committing to the Wildland Fire Leadership Council, an interagency team created to set and maintain high standards for wildland fire management on public lands. More on this step »
