Northeast Region Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Logo

The Northeast Regional Strategy Committee (NE RSC) provides executive leadership, coordination and guidance for the implementation of the Northeast Regional Action Plan levels in support of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy.

As the regional representative chartered by the Wildland Fire Leadership Council (WFLC), the Northeast Regional Strategy Committee (NE RSC) represents all wildland fire management partners at the federal, state, Tribal, NGO, and local levels in the 20 Northeastern and Midwestern States.

The NE RSC is the only regional wildland fire management forum in the Northeast to exchange ideas and maintain a collaborative environment among its many partners and focus on developing mutually beneficial problem-solving policies and strategies.
