CHAPTER 2 – REPORT PREPARATION
Thereafter, the following field entries will be identified by type and number of intrusions. The
code is as follows:
AI = Aircraft Intrusions
PS = Power Saw Intrusions
TR = Tractor Intrusions
OE = Other Equipment
The following is an example of a wilderness entry.
28. Special Code
A W/_ _ 2 5 9 A I/ _ _ _ _ 3
P S/_ _ _ _ 4
O E/ _ _ _ _ 1
T R/_ _ _ _ 1
In the above example, AW/259 is the Four Peaks Wilderness Area. AI - OE - PS - TR - need not
be in any special order. Enter the code and the number of intrusions.
Wilderness intrusion information can be accessed by the Forest recreation staff using PRESENT.
2. Include the management code as an additional entry. Enter a PP in the first field of
the special code and follow with the fire number. If the fire is a reimbursable fire, enter RR in
the first field instead of PP. For example, the P number of P39800 would be entered as:
P P/3 9 8 0 0
A reimbursable management code for fire number P39888 would be entered as:
R R/3 9 8 8 8
