Wildfire management
Wildfire management involves strategies and practices aimed at preventing, controlling, and responding to wildfires. It includes proactive measures like creating firebreaks and conducting prescribed burns to reduce fuel (like dry vegetation) that can fuel fires. Detection systems monitor for fires, while trained firefighters are deployed to combat them. Post-fire recovery efforts focus on restoring ecosystems and protecting communities. Effective management relies on collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and environmental organizations to minimize the impact of wildfires on people, property, and wildlife while maintaining healthy forests and ecosystems.

Wildfire management involves strategies to prevent, control, and recover from wildfires, wildfires can occur in forests, grasslands, and other environments due to natural causes or human activities. Key components include prevention (like controlled burns and creating fire breaks), detection (using technology and lookout towers), suppression (deploying firefighters and equipment), and recovery (rehabilitating burned areas). Effective management aims to protect lives, property, and natural resources while maintaining ecological balance. Community education and preparedness also play crucial roles in minimizing risks associated with wildfires.
