| Abstract: |
Federal, state and local resource management agencies have special and unique responsibilities at the urban/rural/wildland interface. Prescribed fire and fire suppression training may be one of these responsibilities. agencies may use prescribed fire as a management tool and escape fires do occur. Sound training in fundamentally important subjects such as fire behavior are a must, both for agency personnel and cooperators, public and private. The job of developing and conducting fire for interface cooperators frequently falls to the wildland resource management agency and this is true of many National Wildlife Refuges in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. |
