tiveness were classified into three grades — fair, good, 

 and excellent. The excellent grade applied where 

 protection effort included the building of access roads, 

 the use of special fire-fighting equipment and fire-fight- 

 ing crews, and where annual burn was less than 2 

 percent. Protection which fell below the minimum 

 standards of effort and effectiveness was likewise classi- 

 fied into three grades — poor, very poor, and destruc- 

 tive. 



Cutting practice and protection classifications for 

 each property were combined into a single manage- 

 ment rating in this way: If cutting and protection 

 were classed the same for a particular property, then 

 management rating was the same; if cutting and pro- 

 tection were one class apart, management was rated 

 the same as the poorer of the two classes; if cutting 

 and protection were two classes apart, management 

 rating was intermediate.
