What type of FireNet account do you need?

Most users will be able to collaborate in FireNet using Guest Membership with either an agency account (DOI/USDA/FS) or even external accounts (gmail/other). The primary collaborative tools used in FireNet are MS Teams and SharePoint. These tools allow for in depth work between firenet.gov and guest membership accounts. Learn more about the specifics on our 'What Type of FireNet Account Do You Need' Page. Please visit our Guest Member User Guide for additional guidance.
