- Title
Forest Service Wildfire Management Policy Run Amok.
- Authors
HYDEN, SARAH
- Abstract
Some Forest Service personnel believe that conservationists, by "holding their feet to the fire" to analyze intentional burn operations according to NEPA, are slowing down implementation of burn treatments. An increasing trend in Forest Service wildfire management tactics has been to combine intentional burning (prescribed burning) with emergency fire suppression. There was no distinction made between the original fire which was not caused by USFS actions, and the sections of the fire to the south, amounting to a separate fire, that were directly ignited by the Forest Service.
