Special Management Considerations. Describe Unit-specific considerations in this section. Special Management Areas where restrictions on normal suppression methods apply include such areas as Federal Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, Designated Critical Habitat for Threatened and Endangered Species, sensitive cultural sites, botanical areas and areas with naturally occurring asbestos. In most of these areas, the use of dozers for fireline construction is the most impacting action and should be avoided, except in situations where life and property are directly threatened. The use of dozers in Wilderness and/or Wilderness Study Areas requires authorization from the authorized Federal Agency Administrator. It is essential to request an Agency Representative and Resource Advisor from the jurisdictional agency to advise the protecting agency regarding specific modified suppression necessary in these areas. Specific objectives for protection of sensitive resources will be included in Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) analyses and the Incident Commander will incorporate special management considerations into the incident planning process.
Special Management Considerations. Identify areas where there are resource and other management concerns, i.e. special management considerations, appropriate fire management actions, any restrictions in firefighting tactical techniques, etc. (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to a land or resource management plan.) • Jurisdictional Agencies, which may include state and private lands, should identify the conditions under which wildland fire may be managed to achieve benefit, and the information or criteria that will be used to make that determination (e.g., critical habitat, hazardous fuels and land management planning documents). . (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to a land or resource management plan.) • Identify how suppression costs related to special management considerations will be allocated.

Decision Process: Identify the process by which the Parties will develop and document decisions regarding suppression strategies and tactical actions that are cost efficient and consider loss and benefit to land, values at risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. Cooperation: Identify how to involve all Parties in developing the strategy and tactics to be used in preventing unwanted wildland fire from crossing the jurisdictional boundary, and how all Parties will be involved in developing mitigations which would be used if a wildland fire does cross jurisdictional boundaries. Communication: Describe the level of communication required with neighboring jurisdictions regarding the management of all wildland fires, especially those with multiple objectives. Communications should occur prior to fire seasons and during the early stages of wildland fires. Agencies managing fires, especially those with multiple objectives, should consider: firefighter and public safety, predicted weather conditions, resource drawdown, proximity to values at risk, smoke, current and anticipated fire activity and time of season. Neighboring jurisdictions should provide prompt notification to agencies when concerns exist about fires that are managed strategically and have the potential to impact adj...

Special Management Considerations a. If applicable, local operating plans should identify areas where there are resource and other management concerns, i.e. special management considerations, appropriate fire management actions, any restrictions in firefighting tactical techniques, etc. (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to a land or resource management plan.)
Special Management Considerations a. IDL State and Private Forested Lands. No special management considerations.
Special Management Considerations. Local suppression plans should identify areas where there are resource and other management concerns, i.e. special management considerations, appropriate fire management actions, any restrictions in firefighting tactical techniques, etc. (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to a land or resource management plan.) Local suppression plans should identify strategies that may need to be considered in order to limit the potential for increased damage to private and public property, infrastructure investments or critical habitat, when it is necessary to limit the use of aerially delivered fire retardant in certain locations, such as the WUI or in an aerial retardant avoidance area. Identify in local suppression plans how suppression costs related to special management considerations will be allocated.
Special Management Considerations. Fire Operations Guidance in Bark Beetle Stands, See Appendix B, may be employed in the extensive bug killed timber stands where fire behavior and stand conditions could compromise human life and safety using direct control efforts. Aerial application of fire retardant will be restricted within 300 feet distance of all lakes or waterways (containing water) on Federal jurisdiction lands. Retardant is further restricted within 600 feet of designated waterways that have critical habitat for Greenback Cutthroat Trout. When fire location is confirmed, FTC will advise if it is in a Greenback Cutthroat Trout exclusion area.
Special Management Considerations. Response will be based on ecological, social, economic and legal consequences of the fire. The appropriate response is dictated by: circumstances under which the fire started, likely consequence to firefighter/public welfare and safety and natural/cultural resources to be protected.
Special Management Considerations. All fire suppression action conducted on lands of another Agency shall be consistent with that Agency’s fire suppression policy and the terms of this Agreement.
