Would the Teams recommendations establish any priorities for where fuel reduction work would be performed first?
Yes. The Team recommends that fuels reduction in the WUI be the first priority for treatment and suggests that more than 75% of the fuels reduction work be done in the WUI in the next 5 years. (The WUI covers about one-fifth of the total land area affected by the Framework.) This emphasis is consistent with the National Fire Plan. OFEAs with high fire hazard and risk would be the next priority, followed by general forest areas with high fire hazard and risk.
