ABOUT US
The National Incident Information Center (NIIC) gathers and disseminates information on fires and other natural disasters that occur nationwide. The staff summarizes technical information for ease of understanding and assists in providing this information to interested groups and individuals and elected officials at the federal, state, and local levels.
