 Interagency Prescribed Fire Planning and Implementation Procedures Guide

The Interagency Prescribed Fire Planning and Implementation Procedures Guide has been signed and is available at http://www.nifc.gov/fire_policy/. This guide has been updated from the December 2006 version to reflect changes that were identified through field review and use of the guide, and will remain in effect until revised or rescinded.

The Prescribed Fire Planning and Implementation Procedures Guide provides standardized policy, specifically associated with the planning and implementation of prescribed fire, and describes minimal acceptable requirements for prescribed fire planning and implementation for signatory agencies. Agencies may choose to provide more restrictive standards and policy direction, but must adhere to the minimums described in the guide.
