Fire management policies of the National Park Service (NPS) support the park’s resource management goals. The primary resource management goal is restoration or maintenance of the historic scene and the associated cultural resources, and supporting native plant communities while providing for firefighter and public safety, protection of natural and cultural resources, and human developments from unwanted wildland fire. Program operations included in the plan are preparedness, prevention, suppression, and fuels management. Applicable resource goals and objectives are derived from approved agency resource and general management plans.
