• the fire is set by a person to his or her own property, either to prevent an imminent threat or as part of a generally accepted resource management practice;
• the fire does not pose a serious threat of injury to an individual or damage to federal property, and it does not result in death or serious bodily injury; and
• no individual under 16 years of age is used in setting the fire.
