The Fire Management Program combines elements
of fire prevention, fire suppression, and fire use.
Wildland fire occurrence is inevitable in
all North American ecosystems. Most wildland fire must be suppressed
to meet resource and social objectives. The wise use of fire will
approximate the historical role of fire and enhance long-term resource
and social values.
There are Forest Service-specific and interagency
policies and study recommendations that provide parameters for operating
in the fire management arena.
