Fire Management
A briefing to fire fighters in the forest
The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) manages wildland fire to protect human life and property. The Six Rivers National Forest Fire Management program manages wildland fires though a variety of methods including; prevention, suppression, managing for resource benefits, prescribed fire, and hazardous fuel reduction.
Fires do not stop at agency boundaries, nor do the agencies fighting them. The forest cooperates with other federal, state, and local partners in fire management activities. These relationships foster a safer and more efficient firefighting organization for the public and help us to communicate consistent fire prevention messages to adjacent landowners and the visiting public on National Forest System lands.
