Wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States each year. Many different disaster situations are being responded to by federal, state, local, military, civilian, service, labor, international firefighters, and support staff. These remarkable individuals are the backbone of the wildland fire community. Every year, the men and women who work to save lives, property, and precious natural and cultural resources are lauded for their professional skills and efforts.
Wildland firefighters are highly prepared emergency responders. They are a vital component of a coordinated effort by departments to respond to wildland fires and other natural disasters. They include teams on the ground, air support, smokejumpers, and incident response teams.
