Firebreaks

Firebreaks are gaps in vegetation or barriers created to stop or slow the spread of wildfires. They can be natural features like rivers and rock formations, or man-made structures such as cleared land or fire roads. By removing combustible materials, firebreaks help to starve wildfires of fuel, making it easier for firefighters to control or contain the fire. They are a crucial part of wildfire management strategies to protect homes, ecosystems, and communities from devastating fire damage.
