The subcommittee reduced the size of the previous SAG and redesigned it to improve its effectiveness and expand its applicability to more wildland fire agencies and geographic regions. The SAG is published for the guidance of cooperating Federal, State, and local agencies and is now a publication of the U.S. Forest Service. Federal and State laws and administrative requirements prescribe when and where spark arresters are required. Appropriate Standards referenced in this Guide establish the minimum performance and maintenance requirements of spark arresters for internal combustion engines to be operated on or near grass, timber, brush, or other wildland fuels. During periods of very high or extreme fire danger, spark arresters meeting these Standards will not give complete protection against exhaust spark fires. Additional measures, including shutdown of operations, may be required during such periods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) maintains a general purpose spark arrester test facility and performs multiposition small engine spark arrester qualification evaluations at the USDA Forest Service’s, San Dimas Technology and Development Center, 444 East Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, CA 91773, 909–599– 1267. Qualified spark arrester lists are maintained and published through the Center. The camera-ready copy for the Spark Arrester Guide was produced at the SDTDC for the NWCG by the following personnel: Ralph Gonzales—Fire Program Leader Ruth Paz—Mechanical Engineer Rebecca Gregory—Project Assistant Janie Ybarra—Visual Information Specialist i GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAG users can obtain copies of the three USE OF THE SPARK ARRESTER publications and the video by mail or FAX from GUIDE (SAG) the following address: The Multiposition Small Engine (MSE) SAG is a National Technology & Development Center compilation of information, lists, and illustrations (SDTDC) of qualified MSE spark arrester systems and 444 E.
