Community-Based Fire Management (CBFiM)
An Activity of the Global Wildland Fire Network
Rationale and Introduction
Community Based Fire Management (CBFiM) is a type of land and forest management
in which a locally resident community (with or without the collaboration of other stakeholders)
has substantial involvement in deciding the objectives and practices
involved in preventing, controlling or utilising fires.
This statement is taken from a special paper prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as a follow-up activity of the International Wildland Fire Summit.
