The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC, formerly Boise Interagency Fire Center) located in Boise, Idaho is a joint venture of the several agencies: USFS (U.S. Forest Service), BLM (Bureau of Land Management), BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs), USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), NPS (National Park Service) and NWS (National Weather Service).
In addition to fires it has also been active in floods, earthquakes and other disasters such as Hurricane Andrew, Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption and the Northridge Quake. For the latter the State Office of Emergency Services ordered virtually everything from the Boise radio warehouse - hundreds of portables, repeaters, control stations, fixed links, battery packs and antennas.
