Safety - Fire
You are here: Safety
> Fire
In recent years, the Forest Service has experienced catastrophic
events while working to suppress wildland fires. These events have
created a renewed awareness and concern about safety, the impacts
of wildland fire, and the integration of fire and resource management.
As a result, many actions have been implemented to improve the safety
and protect lives while fighting forest fires. Safe, effective and
efficient wildland fire operations require a thorough understanding
of many policies, principles and procedures.
The Fire
Safety web site will provide a lot of additional information
on the severity of wildland fires and safety measures used. In addition,
an Interim
Field Guide has been prepared to help implement the Healthy
Forests Initiative and Healthy Forests Restoration Act.
