    Large Fire

  • Description:

    Big Piney and Jackson Ranger District Bridger-Teton National Forest, Montana
    The IMT identified a plan to go direct to secure that line. This was a typical strategy that firefighting resources have historically been most comfortable with (one foot in the black).
    The second option was to go with an indirect strategy that would involve a large burn operation and would utilize recent fuels treatments and natural barriers along the Granite Creek drainage to the north of the main fire.
    With two different plans on the table, how do local Line Officers and IMT overhead come to agreement on the best path forward?

    Extended Attack, Transition
