Wildland Fire

The Office of Wildland Fire supports wildland fire management across the Interior Department. We strategically invest approximately $1.75 billion each year to reduce wildfire risk, respond to wildfires, rehabilitate burned landscapes, promote a better understanding of wildfire, and support the wildland fire workforce.

The office is responsible for developing a budget, creating policy, coordinating work, and pursuing technological innovation for the Interior Department's wildland fire management program, which spans more than 500 million acres of public and Tribal lands.
