In 1978, a new fire management policy was announced by the Forest Service. This new policy, which overrides policies that have been in effect for decades, was written because of rising fire suppression costs. A pilot study was conducted on the Kern Plateau of the Sequoia National Forest to test the implementation of a new policy. This paper discusses one phase of this study, the revision of the forest's dispatch system.
