Following wildfire events such as the Flick Creek fire of 2006, there may be the need to identify threats to life or property or to stabilize and prevent further unacceptable degradation to natural and cultural resources resulting from the effects of a fire. Although natural recovery is preferable, federal agencies have the authority to prescribe and implement emergency treatments to minimize these threats. The National Park Service and US Forest Service combined to complete the Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) and Burned Area Rehabilitation (BAR) plans for the Flick Creek fire.
