Guide to Preventing Aquatic Invasive Species Transport by Wildland Fire Operations--it's FINAL!

Hey all,
Below is the link to the official 2017 ‘Guide to Preventing Aquatic Invasive Species Transport by Wildland Fire Operations’, approved and posted by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group today. This document is backed by research at San Dimas Technology and Development Center and recent scientific literature, and has been vetted by interagency fire aviation and ground operations groups, as well as invasives scientists. The intent is to provide clear and straight-forward, yet effective, preventative measures and decontamination methods for use in wildland fire operations. I hope this document is helpful, and please let me know if you have questions or comments!
