The National Fire Plan was developed in August 2000, following a landmark

wildland fires and their impacts to communities while ensuring sufficient
firefighting capacity for the future. The NFP addresses five key points:
Firefighting, Rehabilitation, Hazardous Fuels Reduction, Community
Assistance, and Accountability. [from website]

The mission of the international nonprofit NFPA is to reduce the worldwide
burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and
advocating consensus codes
and standards, research, training,
and education.
Established in 1896, NFPA serves as the world's leading
advocate of fire prevention and is an authoritative source on public safety. In
fact, NFPA's 300 codes and standards influence every building, process, service,
design, and installation in the United States, as well as many of those used in
other countries. NFPA's focus on true consensus has helped the association's code-development
process earn accreditation from the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI). [from website]
