2006 Black Hills Fire Use Module.
Wildland fire use is the management of naturally ignited wildland fires to accomplish specific resource management objectives. Fire Management Plans define geographic areas where wildland fire use is a management option. Fire use is the combination of wildland fire use and prescribed fire application to meet resource objectives.

Several fire use modules (FUMs) are stationed across the U.S. to provide national self-sufficient, multi-skilled fire professionals to assist with fire use operations and planning. This includes planning, fire behavior monitoring, ignition, and holding responsibilities. FUMs also assist with prescribed fire, fire effects, and mechanical hazard fuels reduction projects.

The Black Hills FUM is based at Jewel Cave National Monument near Custer, South Dakota. It is a seven person crew that assists with projects throughout the U.S. with an emphasis on projects in the Northern Great Plains.
