prescribed fire program

A prescribed fire program involves intentionally and carefully setting controlled fires on specific land areas under trained oversight. The goal is to reduce excess vegetation, such as dead leaves and accumulated brush, which can fuel larger, uncontrolled wildfires. It also helps restore natural ecosystems, improve habitat for wildlife, and promote healthy plant growth. These fires are planned using detailed weather, soil, and vegetation assessments to ensure safety and effectiveness. When properly managed, prescribed fires are a valuable tool for wildfire prevention and ecological maintenance, supporting healthier, more resilient landscapes.
