Fires don’t know jurisdictional boundaries, and we try to ignore jurisdictional boundaries ourselves. In wildland fire, there’s no one community, agency, Tribal organization that has enough resources to manage all of its fires. We inherited this place, and we’re trying to keep it going. And I’ll say that we all stand on the shoulders of giants. Through the hard work, ingenuity, and persistence of generations of fire professionals, wildfire response across the nation is unified, cooperative, and professional. Extremely lengthy, intense, and damaging fire seasons like the one we’re experiencing now reinforce the purpose of places like this. NIFC was created 50 years ago, and it is the original and durable model for interagency, intergovernmental coordination. The inception of this was a Forest Service, BLM, NOAA, Fish and Wi- National Weather Service operation. Oh, and of course, National Weather Service - one of the original partners here at NIFC. I think I got them all somebody will correct me. Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service. Fire Administration, and, of course, U.S.

We have National Park Service, DOD, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Association of State Foresters representing the states, FEMA, U.S. I just want to point out: This is a coalition of partners. And speaking for all the NIFC partners, I’d like to thank you particularly for being here and for your genuine and intense interest in wildland fire management. I’m the Bureau of Land Management’s Assistant Director for Fire and Aviation. We’re honored you’re the first President to visit in the 50-year history of the Fire Center, and it’s quite an honor. And we always say NIFC is a place, not an organization. President, on behalf of the wildland fire community, I’m proud to welcome you to the National Interagency Fire Center - or NIFC, for short.

Trump subsequently released a statement saying that rather than Obama's religion or birthplace, "the bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians in this country." We're going to be looking at that and plenty of other things," Trump said. "We're going to be looking at a lot of different things, and a lot of people are saying that and saying that bad things are happening out there. When the man responded that his main question was about alleged "training camps" and how we might be able to "get rid of" those camps, Trump gave a generic answer. "We need this question, this is the first question," Trump said. In the lead-up to the 2012 presidential election, Trump repeatedly raised widely debunked conspiracy theories that Obama was not born in this country.Īt the rally, Trump implied that he did want to discuss Muslims, but he never addressed or refuted the man's claim about the president. The man then said of Obama, "You know he's not even an American - birth certificate, man!"

"We have a problem in this country - it's called Muslims," the man said. A man who was in attendance asked Trump about Muslims in the US. The incident occurred when Trump, the frontrunner in the Republican presidential primary, took questions from the audience at a rally in New Hampshire Thursday.
