NWCG Website

The NWCG website (https://www.nwcg.gov) provides universal access to all public-facing NWCG content, including the NWCG mission, membership, organizational structure, operations standards, position standards, training courses, and publications inventory. The website enables the NWCG mission by making  NWCG standards and all associated materials fully interconnected, easily accessible, and readily available for reference. This includes:

• Standards publications,
• Incident Position Descriptions,
• Training presentations and supporting materials,
• Job-aids,
• Forms and checklists,
• Position Task Books, and
• How-to videos.

Use the NWCG website to publish and access all public-facing NWCG information. Provide input on all website content through the feedback channels available on the site.

Do not use the NWCG website for collaborative work that involves sharing draft files and information that is not yet ready for external reference; use FireNet for these purposes. For additional guidance on timelines, design standards and requirements for web projects and updates, please contact NWCG's Webmaster.
