The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) is a federal coordination hub where multiple agencies collaborate on wildland fire management, including coordinating Department of Defense assets such as military C-130 aircraft equipped with Modular Airborne Firefighting Systems (MAFFS) that deliver fire retardant, and managing contracts for aerial firefighting resources including air tankers, helicopters, and smokejumper aircraft. NIFC serves as the nation's logistical center for wildland fire suppression, with the National Interagency Coordination Center processing resource orders for national firefighting assets and working with the DoD to deploy military aviation and ground forces when requested by the Secretary of War.
