From the text ... 'The Canadian Parks Service has a fire management policy that is best described as evolving. The development history of the fire policy and current practices have been reviewed by other authors (Lopoukhine, 1993; Westhaver, 1992; Day and others, 1988, Van Wagner and Methven, 1980). The purpose of this paper is to examine the conceptual evolution of the Canadian Parks Services attitude to fire and speculate on where it is heading.'
