The Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations provides fire and fire aviation program management direction for BLM, USFS, FWS, NPS, and BIA managers. Employees engaged in fire management activities will continue to comply with all agency policies.


The Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations states, references, or supplements policy for Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Park Service (NPS), and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) fire and fire aviation program management. Original source policy is stated or referenced throughout this handbook. This handbook attempts to reference policy, rather than
paraphrase policy to limit duplication.
