Prescribed Fire
Prescribed fire minimizes hazardous fuels, which reduces fire intensity and the risk of high-severity wildfires. It also minimizes the risk to firefighter and public safety. Additional benefits include improved wildlife habitat and long-term sustainability of healthier ecosystems and the services they provide.
