Land Management Plan Part 2 San Bernardino National Forest Strategy Fire 3 - Fire Suppression Emphasis September 2005 Improve wildland fire suppression capability when in proximity to communities or improvements. A full range of suppression strategies may be used elsewhere on the national forest. All human and natural ignitions will be suppressed using control, contain, confine strategies: • Cross-train with other fire agencies to improve suppression coordination and performance on fires burning in the Wildland/Urban Interface Defense and Threat Zones or developed area interface. • During periods of limited firefighter availability, communities within the national forest direct protection area should be the highest priority for initial attack coverage. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 1- Reduce the risk from catastrophic wildland fire, objective 2. Fire 4 - Firefighter and Public Safety Firefighter and public safety is the first priority in every fire management activity. Integrate all fire management activities with those of other government agencies and conduct fire management activities in a cost effective manner: • Improve residential inspection capability to enhance the defensible space around structures. • In concert with other agencies and Fire Safe Councils develop community protection, evacuation, structure protection, and vegetation management plans that will enhance both firefighter and public safety. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 1- Reduce the risk from catastrophic wildland fire, objective 2. Page 156
September 2005 Land Management Plan Part 2 San Bernardino National Forest Strategy Fire 5 - Fuelbreaks and Indirect Community Protection Maintain the existing system of roadside fuelbreaks and fuelbreaks along watershed boundaries to minimize fire size and the number of communities threatened by both fires and floods. Consider constructing new fuelbreaks on land outside of wilderness or other special designations. • Consider an opportunistic approach to fuels management. Take advantage of areas that have burned, and wherever possible connect areas burned in wildland fires to forest health and wildlife habitat improvement projects, as well as fuelbreaks to maintain multiple lines of community defense and to minimize future wildland fire patch size. • Reduce the fire threat to communities using mechanical treatments, prescribed fire and herbicides. • Pre-plan fire suppression activities to minimize the use of locations with known invasive nonnative species. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 1- Reduce the risk from catastrophic wildland fire, objectives 1 and 3. Page 157
