#cross-tenure-fire-coordination

Fuel and access work stops at property boundaries while fire does not, leaving uncoordinated gaps, duplicated effort and treatments too small to alter landscape risk.

Give affected communities and Indigenous rights holders meaningful authority, resources and continuing roles in wildfire planning and evaluation.

Coordinate analysis, risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery through one accountable strategy adapted to local fire regimes.

Set transparent priorities for life safety, defensible communities, critical systems, and responder safety when resources cannot address every incident.

Give participating agencies shared roles, terminology, radio interoperability and decision structures during complex wildfire incidents.

Pre-negotiate compatible assistance, logistics and cost arrangements so crews, aircraft and equipment can move quickly when local capacity is exceeded.

Link verified detection to a unified command that sends the nearest suitable ground and air resources while a fire remains small and conditions are safe.

Return authority and durable resources to Indigenous and local practitioners who use place-based fire knowledge to care for fire-adapted landscapes.

Organize neighboring landholders around one risk map, treatment sequence, access network and maintenance schedule that crosses property boundaries.

Maintain lower-flammability productive land uses in strategic locations to interrupt vegetation continuity and support local livelihoods.
