U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 20260409 Bureau of Land Management https://fire.ak.blm.gov Alaska Initial Attack Fire Management Options (Options) is a spatial dataset produced by the Bureau of Land Management-Division of Support Services and the Alaska Fire Service. 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. 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 from 2017 forward, 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. Alaska Initial Attack Fire Management Options (Options) is a spatial dataset produced by the Bureau of Land Management-Division of Support Services and the Alaska Fire Service. These data represent the fire management option boundaries for the state of 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". 20260409 publication date In work Annually -175 -125 71 54 BLM-THEME Fire Geospatial Management NONE fire management options initial response options protection level wildland fire ISO 19115 Topic Categories environment planningCadastre BLM-STATE Alaska None, these data are considered public domain.
