The statement, 'Availability of fire resources can be a serious constraint to conducting prescribed natural fire activities,' illustrates some misunderstanding of prescribed fire programs. The availability of fire suppression resources should not be a 'driving force' in our prescribed natural fire program, certainly no more than for any other prescribed fire activity. One of the fundamental precepts of prescribed burning is to have adequate resources to manage and suppress the prescribed burn as described in the plan. A second precept is that prescribed burning must be done at a time and in a manner so that it does not adversely affect our ability to respond to wildfire suppression activities.
