Abstract

The Huachuca Area Fire Partners (HAFP) is an alliance of public and private groups in southeastern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. Parties from the Patagonia Mountains on the west to the San Pedro River on the east have come together to manage fire activities over the 500,000-acre borderlands area. The Fire Management Plan is a general framework for landscape-level fire management that does not replace any approved fire management plans of partner organizations. Partner FMPs always take precedent over this framework. The intent of the HAFP is to take on projects that participants are unable to accomplish on their own.
