The U.S. Wildland Fire Service represents a historic modernization of wildfire management within the @Interior. By unifying wildland fire management across @BIAFireForestry, @BLMFire, @FireAviationNPS, Office of Aviation Services, @DOIWildlandFire, and @USFWSFire, the Interior Department is building a more efficient, effective wildfire response system that it is better equipped to protect lives, communities, and ecosystems. USWFS by the numbers: ✔Provides wildland fire management on over 500 million acres of public and tribal lands. ✔Employs 5,780 federal wildland fire personnel annually. ✔Supports approximately 900 tribal wildland fire personnel.

Plan. Prepare. Prevent. 🔥 In wildfire-prone areas, yard work can help protect your home. Create defensible space by pruning trees 6–10 ft up, removing dead debris, watering lawns, storing firewood away, and having a plan for family and pets. ➡️nfpa.org/education-and-resea…

In 2025, nearly 70,000 U.S. wildfires were human-caused, compared to just over 8,000 from lightning—but lightning fires burned more than half of all acres. Most starts are preventable; weather-driven fires can grow fast and go national. One less spark matters.
