Description: Alaska Fire Service homepage. The Bureau of Land Management Alaska Fire Service is responsible for wildland fire management on all Department of Interior and Native corporation lands and on most military land in Alaska. Under an interagency agreement, AFS provides wildfire protection on all lands -- 194 million acres -- in the northern part of the state. The State of Alaska Division of Forestry manages fires on 150 million acres in the southern part. The U.S. Forest Service manages fires in national forests. Fire management is conducted under coordinated interagency fire management plans. These plans call for a wide range of options, ranging from all-out aggressive initial attack to monitoring fires burning on lands where resource values do not warrant suppression expenditures.
