In addition, fire managers are to manage natural ignitions to achieve desired Land and Resource Management Plan objectives when risk is within acceptable limits, this also applies to wilderness and wilderness study areas as described in the Federal Wildland Fire Policy and Program Review. Fire management has determined that fire control lines may consist of roads or natural barriers, such as wetlands, foam, water lines, or disked or plowed firelines.
