Title	Wilderness fire policy : an investigation of visitor knowledge and beliefs.
Creator	Stankey, George H.
Contributor	Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Discusses the attitudes and knowledge of wilderness visitors toward wilderness fire suppression policy. Although most users favored suppression, a substantial minority favored a more natural role for fire. Few found either total suppression or no suppression at all acceptable. A major finding was that as visitor knowledge about the role of fire increased, the likelihood of support for a more natural role for fire also grew. Important policy implications include educating and involving the public, making gradual changes in fire policy, and developing a communications program aimed at different audiences.
