Welcome to the NIFC FTP Server , an official site for interagency wildland fire incident data and documents. This ftp service is intended for short-term interagency sharing , not as a file archive or records repository. There shouldn’t be anything here that isn’t stored in a safer location, or much that carries over from season to season. Many people have access to shared folders, so please retain copies of anything you post. Data backups are not performed on the NIFC FTP Server.
