Fire_Management_Options (FeatureServer)

View In:   Map Viewer

Service Description: Graphical display of fire management options in Alaska. Fire suppression organizations use the fire management options to determine initial attack priorities and suppression tactics. The highest priority for suppression response is given to fires occurring in or threatening a "critical" area, followed in order of priority by "full", "modified", and "limited". These data are provided by Bureau of Land Management (BLM), on behalf of the Alaska Wildland Fire Coordinating Group (AWFCG).

Description:

Alaska fire management agencies recognize the differences in missions among local, state, tribal, and federal agencies and have collaborated to develop wildfire management options that consider a full spectrum of responses to wildfire- from suppression actions designed to contain and control fire growth, to periodic surveillance of fires that are allowed to spread naturally across the landscape. Options are selected by jurisdictional agencies based upon legal mandates, policies, regulations, resource management objectives, and local conditions, including but not limited to population density, fire occurrence, environmental factors, and identified values. Management options are assigned at a landscape scale and apply across jurisdictional boundaries. Ideally, boundaries are readily identifiable from both the air and ground, are based on fuel types, access, topographic features, natural barriers and fire regimes, and can be feasibly defended. Management option designations are intended to be flexible to respond to changes in objectives, fire conditions, land-use patterns, resource information, and technologies. Jurisdictional agencies are responsible for updating and reviewing management option and site designations annually. Management options may only be changed with the approval of all affected jurisdictional agencies. Four wildfire management options (Critical, Full, Modified, Limited) are employed statewide by federal and state agencies, and Alaska Native groups. Several areas are designated as "unplanned". These include areas where the land manager/owner did not participate in the planning process. Native Allotments are managed as "full" protection areas, and are included in this dataset as such. The process of updating the Options with Allotments leaves several sliver polygons of different protection level around the Allotments in some areas.
