Forest Fire Management

Forest fire management involves strategies and actions to prevent, detect, and control wildfires in forested areas. This includes creating firebreaks ( cleared strips to stop fire spread), controlled burns to reduce excess vegetation, monitoring using surveillance tools, and timely response with firefighting resources. The goal is to protect ecosystems, property, and communities while maintaining ecological health. Effective management balances fire prevention with the natural role of fire in certain ecosystems, ensuring fires are controlled and minimized in severity and impact.
