Fire Resources
Community Wildfire Protection Plans
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan gathers together your community's resources to enhance wildfire mitigation and preparedness.
Order Smokey Materials
The Nebraska Forest Service is the state headquarters for Smokey Bear! See what items are in stock or make a request today because "only you can prevent wildfires."
Fuels Reduction
Thinning dense forests and removing hazardous “ladder fuels” from beneath the trees helps forests better withstand catastrophic wildfires.
