Wildfire prevention strategies

Wildfire prevention strategies focus on reducing the risk of fires starting and spreading. This includes creating defensible spaces around homes by removing flammable plants and materials, properly burning or disposing of yard debris, and maintaining trees and vegetation to prevent ladder fuels. Authorities also regulate the use of machinery and campfires during high-risk periods, enforce fire bans, and conduct controlled burns to reduce combustible materials. Public education campaigns encourage awareness and responsible behavior. By managing vegetation, adhering to safety laws, and being vigilant, communities can significantly decrease the likelihood and impact of wildfires.
