Service Description: These data represent Alaska Wildland Fire Protection Responsibility Boundaries and Alaska Initial Attack Fire Management Options. Protection boundaries are defined as the exterior perimeter of an area within which a specified fire protection agency has assumed a degree of responsibility for wildland fire control. It may include land in addition to that for which the agency has jurisdiction or contractual responsibility. The State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Fire Protection (DOFFP), Bureau of Land Management, Alaska Fire Service (AFS), and the US Forest Service (USFS) are the fires agencies within Alaska. Geographic units where DNR is protecting agency are identified as "Areas" (the exceptions is Haines Area), the AFS units are identified as "Zones", and the USFS units are identified as "Forests". Management Options are defined as a fire management classification assigned by jurisdictional agency that determines the initial response to a wildfire. The four fire management options are "critical", "full", "modified", and "limited". Fire management options are designated by jurisdictional agencies and are reviewed annually, as outlined in the Alaska Interagency Wildland Fire Management Plan, October 1998 and subsequent agreements. Several large areas are designated as "unplanned". These include areas where the land manager 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.
