Wildland Fire Advisory Committee
The Wildland Fire Advisory Committee (WFAC) was established by RCW 76.04.179 in 2015. The mission of the WFAC is to advise the Commissioner of Public Lands on all matters related to wildland fire management and firefighting in Washington state, including but not limited to developing recommendations regarding capital budget requests related to fire and developing strategies to enhance the safe and effective use of private and public wildland firefighting resources. To further define the role and direction of the WFAC, Commissioner Franz approved the creation of a charter for the committee in 2017. The committee meets on a monthly basis.
