Wildland fire managers walk a very difficult line in application of the science and art of fire management. With hundreds of laws, regulations, and policies to work within, the managers' decisions are on the sharp point of criticism from persons desiring no management actions to those desiring to be totally protected from fire. Managers must develop the ability to work with ambiguity and a sense of personal "right" in their actions in order to survive in today's constantly changing world.
