Description: CIFFC coordinates the sharing of firefighting resources — personnel, equipment, and aircraft — between Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial wildland fire agencies and international partners under the Canadian Interagency Mutual Aid Resources Sharing (MARS) Agreement, and publishes a daily situation report during fire season providing national-level intelligence on fire activity, resource availability, and preparedness levels across all member agencies. The Centre is the Canadian analog to the U.S. NIFC/NICC, operating seven days a week during fire season and maintaining direct contact with NICC in Boise to facilitate cross-border resource sharing under the Canada-U.S. Reciprocal Forest Fire Fighting Arrangement (CANUS). For Canadian fire managers, provincial coordination centers, and international partners, ciffc.net is the authoritative source for national preparedness status, daily fire situation intelligence, and the operational coordination framework that governs the movement of suppression resources across jurisdictions at both domestic and international scale.
