From the text ... 'We can improve preparedness and suppression, but until we better manage fuel buildups and growth in the wildland/urban interface, the gains will be marginal. ...We need fire protection programs that are ecologically appropriate, socially acceptable, and economically feasible. ...Our goal is to restore the right kind of fire, consistent with the ecological dynamics of the particular forest type. ...When a unit has the opportunity to burn, it should get all the resources it needs to capitalize on the window of opportunity.'
