The Canadian Council of Resource and Environment Ministers created the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) on September 12, 1983 as an incorporated, not-for-profit organization (under the Canada Corporations Act) that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of forest fire management in Canada by facilitating that sharing of fire management information and firefighting resources among agencies. Firefighting resources in Canada are shared on a formal basic under the 1983 Canadian Interagency Mutual Aid Resources Sharing (MARS) Agreement. Management and implementation of the MARS Agreement was the initial reason for the establishment of CIFFC.
