PROTECTING AGENCIES. ‌Protecting Agencies maintain and operate the wildland fire suppression organization in Alaska with the primary intention of providing cost-effective suppression services and minimizing unnecessary duplication of suppression systems. Suppression services include all management actions intended to protect identified values from a fire, extinguish a fire, or alter a fire's direction of spread. Management actions for the protection of identified values include, but are not limited to, surveillance, mapping, and site actions. If a Protecting Agency has an issue or concern with the Jurisdictional Agency that is irresolvable at the local level, that situation should immediately be elevated to the AFS Manager, the DNR Chief of Fire and Aviation or Forest Service Fire and Fuels Group Leader to discuss and adjudicate with the regional fire management staff. Lessons learned from this process should be included in the Interagency Fall Fire Review agenda. The Protecting Agencies are the DNR, and the Bureau of Land Management-AFS and USFS.
