Big Rivers Forest Fire Management Compact

How We Serve

About

The Big Rivers Forest Fire Management Compact was formed as a cooperative venture between the USDA Forest Service - State, Private and Tribal Forestry, and the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri. Our mission is to promote and maintain effective fire management service through prevention, pre-suppression, and suppression of natural cover fires, and through the use of prescribed fire.
