2023 MNICS Meeting
| The MNICS Annual Meeting is an interagency information session that brings together all levels of the MNICS partnership experience. The meeting strengthens coordination efforts involved with wildfire suppression and prevention among all the partnering agencies. It is a great opportunity to network, share information and discuss new ideas. There really is no better place than the MNICS Meeting to reflect on a job well done, share experiences and lessons learned, and recognize all of the success that has occurred throughout the 2023 wildfire season. We’ll look forward to seeing you at the next MNICS Meeting. Dates to be announced toward the end of the 2023 fire season. |
