Fire & Aviation Management

Fire and Aviation Management in the Pacific Northwest is a cooperative effort between the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service in close collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group, an interagency group with representation from five federal wildland fire agencies, two state forestry agencies, and two state fire marshal associations. Forest Service and BLM jurisdiction includes lands in both Oregon and Washington and is divided across 10 BLM districts, 19 National Forests, and the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area.

Incident Business Management

The Incident Business Management Working Team was chartered by the Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group (PNWCG) to provide a coordinated interagency approach to the incident business management activites in Oregon and Washington. The working team provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between the agencies and applies an interagency approach to work on projects assigned by PNWCG. They strive for standardization among the agencies and works towards common resolution of issues in the area of incident business.

The Incident Business Management website is a collection of business items of interest to employees, incident management teams, and program managers and provides links to sites with additional information.
