From the Conclusions ... 'Fires have impacted cultures for millennia and fire will continue to impact contemporary cultures as well as the remnants of past cultures. The challenge is to manage vagetation/fuels to minimize damage to contemporary cultures as well as the cultural resources left by those who once lived on this land. Fires are highly variable both spatially and temporally, but the principles that govern fire are well known. Application of these principles can help to minimize the negative impacts of fuels treatment and restoration activities as well as inform post-fire inventory, monitoring, stabilization and rehabilitation plans. Critical to achieving this is the application of good local, site-specific knowledge about the combustion and fire environments juxtaposed to cultural resources.'
