vector digital data
These data represent the fire management option boundaries for the state of Alaska. 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.
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".

Initial Attack Protection Level. Four wildfire management options (Critical, Full, Modified, Limited) are employed statewide by federal and state agencies and Alaska Native groups to prioritize fires and pre-designate initial response actions. Modified protection is associated with a Conversion Date. Example = Modified (####) where #### is the conversion date. Prior to the Conversion Date, Modified areas are treated as Full Protection. Following Conversion, Modified areas are treated as Limited Protection.
AWFCG
Critical
Protection Level = Critical. Wildfires occurring in the Critical Management Option or that threaten Critical sites are assigned the highest priority for suppression actions and assignment of available firefighting resources.
AWFCG
Modified
Protection Level = Modified. Before the conversion date, fires occurring within Modified will receive priority for allocation of initial action forces after the protection of Critical and Full areas. After the conversion date, the priority is low for the allocation of initial action forces and equal to Limited.
AWFCG
Full
Protection Level = Full. Wildfires occurring in the Full Management Option are assigned a high priority for suppression actions and assignment of available firefighting resources, but are below wildfires within or threatening a Critical Management option area or site.
AWFCG
Limited
Protection Level = Limited. Limited Management Option fires are assigned the lowest resource allocation priority.

Protection Level = Unplanned. No default initial action or priorities have been identified.
