Burgard M. 2006. Fire Management Units in Glacier National Park, Montana (2006). National Park Service, Glacier National Park, Fire Management
This dataset contains the fire management units (FMU) contained in the park's Fire Management Plan. These unit boundaries were last revised in 2006 in response to changes in wildland fuel conditions resulting from several large wildfires that occured during the summer of 2003. Each FMU has fire management strategies assigned and includes conditions that will accomplish stated objectives for that unit. These fire management units are defined by agency direction established in the Glacier National Park General Management Plan and principally correspond to land and resource management objectives, values to be protected, and fire regimes.
