Protecting Agency. ‌ The Protecting Agency is the agency responsible for providing and coordinating safe, cost- effective emergency wildland fire suppression services within a specific geographical area pursuant to its responsibility as specified and provided by law, policy, or this Agreement. Suppression is defined as a management action intended to protect identified values from a fire, extinguish a fire, or alter a fire's direction of spread. The Protecting Agencies are divided into geographic units that are responsible for all wildfire suppression services and other - services as provided by this agreement within that geographic unit: the DNR units are called “Areas”; the AFS units are “Zones” and the USFS units are “Forests”. Under this Agreement, each Protecting Agency agrees to act as an agent of the other within their Protection Area and this Agreement delegates the authority for each agency to provide wildland fire protections services to all the jurisdictional agencies within their Protection Area. Protection Areas are addressed in Clause 19 of this agreement. The agencies accountable for compliance and performance of the delegated authority for wildland fire protection services under this Agreement are the AFS, DNR and USFS. The Protecting Agencies’ inherent responsibilities are based on the following: The DNR has the responsibility, pursuant to Alaska Statute (AS) 41.15.010, to provide protection from wildland fire and other destructive agents, commensurate with the values at risk, on land that is owned privately, by the state, or by a municipality. Statute 41.15.030 (a) authorizes the commissioner to enter into protection contracts. The AFS has the responsibility, pursuant to 620 DM 2.4, to provide safe, cost-effective emergency wildland fire suppression services in support of land, natural and cultural resource management plans on DOI administered land and on those lands that require protection under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.1620(e)). In addition, by agreement, AFS provides wildland fire and fuels management services on specified lands to the U.S. Army-Alaska. The USFS has the responsibility, pursuant to the Organic Administration Act, June 4, 1897 (16 U.S.C. 551), for wildland fire management on all lands administered by the Tongass and Chugach National Forests. Structure fires and fires contained within dumps are the responsibility of local fire departments and are outside the scope of this Agreement.
