A Summary of the Nation’s Wildfire Response Stages

The National Multi-Agency Coordination Group (NMAC), made up of wildland fire representatives from each agency at the National Interagency Fire Center, sets Preparedness Levels (PL) to help ensure enough crews, aircraft, and equipment are available for new incidents across the country.

Levels range from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), based on fire activity, weather, fuel conditions, and resource availability.

Why it matters: As the Preparedness Levels escalate during the fire year, every prevented wildfire helps keep firefighters, aircraft, and equipment ready for the most urgent needs. Simple choices, like securing chains, extinguishing campfires, and following restrictions, can make a real difference in keeping communities and landscapes safer
