Fire camp

Fire camp

According to the National Incident Management System (NIMS), a fire camp is one of five predesignated temporary facilities. Fire camps provide certain essential auxiliary forms of support, such as food, sleeping areas, and sanitation for Wildland firefighters. Fire camps may also provide minor maintenance and servicing of equipment.

A fire camp is separate, but sometimes adjacent, from the Incident Command Post and Incident Base. The fire camp is often located in satellite fashion from where they can best support incident operations.
