National Park Service. 1998. Wildland fire management plan: Golden Spike National Historic Site. Golden Spike National Historic Site. Brigham City, UT
This document discusses the need for fires in the Golden Spike setting, where fire suppression has increased the growth of big sagebrush. It also discusses the limits of use of both wild and prescribed fires, including the fast rates of spread and the private lands that surround this linear-shaped park. The plan includes models of fire behavior, based on different fuels, moisture levels and slopes. Several appendices accompany the report, including an Environmental Assessment for the Golden Spike Wildland Fire Management Plan, dated January, 1998.
