“DCNR’s Bureau of Forestry is responsible for protecting the commonwealth’s 17 million acres of public and private wildlands from damage by wildfire. This is accomplished by a combination of:

• Mitigation
• Prevention
• Preparedness
• Suppression
• Investigation

The bureau works with forest fire wardens and volunteer fire departments to promote the latest advances in fire prevention and suppression.

Pennsylvania wildland firefighters also assist with wildfire suppression efforts throughout the nation.”
