USFS. The use of Minimal Impact Suppression Tactics (MIST) shall be used on all wilderness areas. No mechanized equipment (chainsaws, leaf blowers, dozers, etc.) will be used except by approval of Forest Supervisor and/or Regional Forester Unless otherwise agreed, the Jurisdictional Agency will provide an Agency representative with appropriate environmental technical expertise to advise a Protecting Agency of any special management considerations that may influence suppression action. The cost of these individuals shall be paid by the Jurisdictional Agency. The Incident Commander will incorporate special management considerations into the incident planning process, subject to the delegation of authority. Decision Process: In all cases full suppression is the preferred suppression strategy to reduce the risk of life in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. Larger fires on USFS managed lands would use the Wildfire Decision and Support System (WFDSS) special analysis planning tool to identify values-at-risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. For Larger fires on Department of Interior managed lands the Fire Management Plan (FMP) would be the guiding document to identify values-at-risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. In large fires or incidents, a resource advisor will be provided the responding units to advise of values at risk. Cooperation: Cooperation between parties to develop mitigations which would be used if a wildland fire does cross jurisdictional boundaries or the prioritizing on multiple incidents on multiple agencies with multiple agencies responding would be coordinated through the Caribbean Area Multi-Agency Coordinating Group key members and members. Communication: Communications with all potentially affected land management agencies should happen preseason to determine in any changes to suppression tactics and a post season effectiveness review. Cost efficiency: Minimizing suppression cost is a goal of all agencies but should not jeopardize firefighter safety. Due to the limited size of the island, proximity of WUI and critical infrastructure, values at risk, high resource values and social and political values dictate full suppression tactics are used throughout the island, limiting the use fire for multiple use.
