Graphical display of fire management options in Alaska. Fire suppression organizations use the fire management options to determine initial attack priorities and suppression tactics. The highest priority for suppression response is given to fires occurring in or threatening a "critical" area, followed in order of priority by "full", "modified", and "limited". |

These data represent the fire management option boundaries for the state of Alaska. The spatial extent of this dataset matches the BLM Alaska Terrestrial Boundary and that boundary is subject to revision. The four fire management options are "critical", "full", "modified", and "limited". Fire management options are designated by the land managers or owners and are reviewed annually, as outlined in the Alaska Interagency Wildland Fire Management Plan, October 1998. Several large areas are designated as "unplanned". These include areas where the land manager/owner did not participate in the planning process. Many more of the "unplanned" areas are islands. Native Allotments are managed as "full" protection areas, and are included in this dataset as such. The process of updating the Options with Allotments leaves several sliver polygons of different protection level around the Allotments in some areas, |
