implementation of current Director's Order # 18 Wildland Fire Management (NPS 1998).
-
format changes under the direction of RM‑ 18 (NPS 1999 and 2002).
-
reinforces updated 1995 Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy and Review.
-
establishes a Fire Analysis Committee consisting of the FMO, Chief of Visitor Services, Chief of Resource Management, Cultural Resources Specialist, andChief of Maintenance. The Fire Analysis Committee will meet as needed to review wildland fires, develop alternatives and present them to the Superintendent for approval, following the guidelines established for the Wildland Fire Situation Analysis.
This plan is written to provide guidelines for appropriate suppression and potential prescribed fire programs at Fort Clatsop National Memorial. Prescribed fires may be used to reduce hazard fuels, restore the natural processes and vitality of ecosystems, remove or reduce non‑native species, and/or conduct research into fire effects.
