Map of fire management units (FMU's) at Point Reyes National Seashore
Planning in fire and fuels management is essential to ensure that all fire suppression and fuels treatment actions strongly support resource management and community protection objectives. The planning process also minimizes adverse impacts to park resources and neighboring communities.
Fire and fuels planning is done by establishing fire management units (FMU's) which describe objectives for different areas within each park based on geography, fuels management and habitat enhancement needs, and values at risk.

Point Reyes National Seashore will be part of a National Fire Planning Unit (FPU #5). This FPU includes several land management units in Northern California. For more information, visit the Fire Program Analysis website.
