Integrated Fire Management

Integrated Fire Management (IFM) is a comprehensive approach to prevent, control, and reduce the impact of wildfires. It combines various strategies such as monitoring fire risks, planning controlled burns, managing vegetation, and improving emergency response. By coordinating efforts across government agencies, communities, and environmental groups, IFM aims to protect lives, property, and ecosystems while maintaining fire's natural role in forest health. This collaborative approach ensures that fire management is proactive, adaptive, and sustainable, balancing safety with ecological and cultural considerations.
