Description:
Abstract:
Areas designated in an effort to divide the responsibility of fire suppression within the state.  The intensive and extensive areas are at a higher natural risk for fires and the DNR has the statutory responsibility for fire suppression.  The distinctions between intensive and extensive areas are defined in Administrative code (NR30).
