Smoke 101
An often-overheard phrase, "there is no future without smoke," describes fire, and associated smoke, as an ecological process inextricably tied to Western forests. While fire can provide many benefits such as reducing fuels and renewing forests, smoke from fires poses a serious challenge to public health, land managers, and air quality regulators.

How to Prepare for Wildfire Smoke
Living with Wildfire
Stay Informed. Be Prepared. Be part of the solution.
Wildfire is a natural part of our forests, but climate change, past land use, and increased development in fire-prone areas have made wildfire seasons longer and more intense. The Colville National Forest manages wildland fire with a focus on safety, forest resilience, and community protection.
Our Fire & Aviation Management Program works year-round to reduce fire risk, respond to active wildfires, and help forests and communities recover.
