Common use of Suppression Policy Clause in Contracts

Suppression Policy. For all fires on SRA lands within federal Direct Protection Areas and on federal lands in State Direct Protection Areas, the basic initial attack objective will be to control the fire at 10 acres or less. If the objectives are determined by the State (for SRA) or by a federal agency (for federal lands) to be different than the objective for the surrounding area, the area shall be considered a Special Management Area (see Section XX above). Since a wildland fire could be the result of an escape from a prescribed fire being conducted by one of the parties to this Operating Plan within the Direct Protection Area of another party, suppression policy should be determined in advance. A contingency plan outlining suppression objectives should be developed jointly between the agency conducting the prescribed fire and the protecting agency as an integral part of the prescribed fire burn plan.
