The Alaska Fire Service (AFS) is a division of the U.S. Forest Service that focuses on wildfire management in Alaska. Established to protect natural resources and communities, AFS coordinates firefighting efforts across the state, working closely with local, state, and federal agencies. AFS employs a range of strategies, including fire prevention, suppression, and rehabilitation. The service also provides training and resources for firefighters and collaborates with organizations like the National Interagency Fire Center to enhance wildfire response capabilities. Through these efforts, AFS aims to minimize the impact of wildfires on both the environment and public safety.
