| | John Day Fossil Beds NM: Wildland Fire Management Plan |
 | | Actions included in the prescribed burn program include: the selection and prioritization of prescribed burns to be carried out during the year, prescribed burn plans, burn prescriptions, burn operations, documentation and reporting, and burn critiques. |
 | | During prescribed burns, monitoring can serve as a precursor to invoking suppression action by determining if the fire is in prescription, assessing its overall potential, and determining the effects of the prescribed burn. |
 | | Information will include a narrative of the burn operation, a determination of whether objectives were met, weather and fire behavior data, map of the burn area, photographs of the burn, number of work hours, and final cost of the burn. |
