  • A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Wildland Fire Program A Test of Adversity and Strength Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman NPS/J HENRY A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman, Principal Investigator National Park Service Cooperative Agreement Order #CA 8034-2-9003 Special Consultant: Stephen J. Pyne Research Associates: Lincoln Bramwell, Brenna Lissoway, and Lesley Argo Project Managers David Sproul, Michael Childers, and Daniel Holder i Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men. Seneca, Epistles ii Executive Summary The National Park Service’s mission, unique among federal agencies, has made its history of fire policy diverge from that of its peers. Federal fire protection began in the national parks in 1886, when the U.S. Army assumed administration of Yellowstone National Park. After the trauma of the 1910 fire season and creation of a civilian National Park Service in 1916, the new Service embraced the U.S. Forest Service’s policy of aggressive fire suppression. For almost fifty years, suppression was policy, a reality that only began to change in the 1950s. The Leopold Report, published in 1963, further articulated differences in the National Park Service’s mission with its call for parks to be managed as “vignettes of primitive America.” Following passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, federal agencies – including the NPS – were compelled to reassess their management plans in the context of the new law. Steadily, each federal agency found its mission redefined and its goals recast; this translated into a more diverse spectrum of fire practices, at once splintering the former unity of purpose that surrounded suppression while demanding new ideas and devices to reintegrate those fragmented parts.
