Standardized use of FireNet by Geographic Areas and Incident Management Teams for the 2023 Fire Year

Date: April 17, 2023
Contact: Katy O'Hara and Nick Heller

The purpose of this memorandum is to reinforce FireNet as the recognized standard official electronic messaging and file collaboration system to support interagency wildland fire missions during the 2023 fire year. 
FireNet is the designated environment for conducting wildland fire operations, and as such, Incident Management Teams (IMTs), dispatch centers and other fire support operations must be using FireNet email, Teams, and SharePoint to the maximum extent possible.

NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid, PMS 560

Date: April 3, 2023
Contact: Emergency Medical Committee (EMC)

NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid establishes minimum standards for first aid for wildland fire environments. The intent of NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid is to address the gaps in traditional first aid courses and the wildland fire environment. NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid could be met through a variety of methods, including supplementing traditional first aid courses with existing resources or through development and utilization of wildland fire specific first aid training programs.  NWCG standards are interagency by design; however, the decision to adopt and utilize them is made independently by the individual member agencies.
