Fire Management Plan 2025
Glacier National Park » Fire Management Plan 2025
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Park Service (NPS) prepared a programmatic environmental assessment (EA) for an updated Fire Management Plan (FMP) for Glacier National Park. The NPS reached a Finding of No Significant (FONSI) for the plan. The FONSI and final FMP are posted in the Documents List.
The FMP defines a program of work to manage wildfire, prescribed fire, and non-fire fuel treatments; protect the public and park communities; and protect park values, including natural and cultural resources and infrastructure. Specific strategies and tactics will be selected depending on the location and defined incident protection and resource objectives. The park will use prescribed fire and non-fire fuels treatments to accomplish objectives such as reducing fuel accumulation and maintaining desired conditions. The updated FMP replaces the park's previous 2003 FMP. The FMP's purpose is consistent with the mission of the NPS Wildland Fire Program.
