The National Wildfire Cohesive Strategy

  • Establishes a national vision for wildland fire management.
  • Vision is to safely and effectively extinguish fire when needed; use fire where allowable; manage our national resources; and as a nation, to live with wildland fire.
  • Three Goals:
  • Safe and Effective Response
  • Fire Adapted Communities
  • Resilient Landscapes
