The U.S. Wildland Fire Service is driving technological innovation to enhance wildfire prevention, response, and recovery. 

Two people work on a laptop and a tablet at dusk, standing at a makeshift table set up in a field of sagebrush. A radio and other equipment clutter the table. Their faces are illuminated by the glow of the screens. The tail of a helicopter is visible behind them. An orange-red fire glows on the mountains in the distance, a plume of smoke rising into the sky and merging with the scattered clouds that are lit by the last light of the sunset.

Modern technology is transforming the way we gather, share, and use vast amounts of real-time information about wildland fires. With cutting-edge tools and innovative systems, we can now respond to and manage wildfires more effectively than ever before.  

The U.S. Wildland Fire Service will continue to innovate and integrate the latest technologies to ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time. By leveraging cutting-edge solutions, we are safeguarding lives and protecting communities, empowering informed decisions, improving wildfire prevention and response, and lowering costs for American taxpayers.
