NIFC / National Interagency Coordination Center
U.S. federal government — non-editorial, operational
NIFC/NICC is a U.S. federal interagency coordinating body, not an editorial news outlet. It publishes operational fire data, situation reports, and resource-mobilization information as a public service. Because it is a government coordination center rather than a journalistic organization, it does not take editorial positions and its output does not lean toward or against the current administration.
Owned byNo single owner; a multi-agency partnership operated jointly by the U.S. Forest Service (USDA), Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Weather Service, U.S. Wildland Fire Service (formed 2026), and the National Association of State Foresters
