Management

The Forest Service has been managing wildland fire on National Forests and Grasslands for more than 100 years. But the Forest Service doesn’t—and can’t—do it alone. Instead, the agency works closely with other federal, tribal, state, and local partners.

The Forest Service uses a variety of aircraft and helicopters to help manage wildfires.
