Chiricahua National Monument Fire Management Plan
Gebow BS. 2005. Chiricahua National Monument Fire Management Plan
This fire plan is an interpretation and application of national direction at the local level for Chiricahua National Monument and is the primary reference for conducting all fire management activities in the park. This 2004 document is a revision of the 1992 plan based on changes to servicewide fire policies and more knowledge of ecology and fire management in the monument. The plan has been written to provide the justification and foundation of a complete fire management program, addressing both fire suppression and prescribed fire. U.S. National Park Service policy requires that every park unit with burnable vegetation develop a fire management plan as guided by Director's Order-18 (DO-18) (http://www.nps.gov/fire/download/fir_wil_do18.pdf). The plan serves as a detailed and comprehensive program of action to implement fire management polocies and objectives, consistant with the unit's objectives. This plan outlines the fire management program at Chiricahua National Monument.
