Wildland Fire Policy

Wildland Fire Policy refers to strategies and regulations designed to manage and respond to wildfires in natural areas, such as forests and grasslands. It aims to balance fire prevention, suppression, and ecological health. This includes measures like controlled burns to reduce fuel buildup, creating firebreaks to protect communities, and restoring ecosystems that depend on fire. Policies also address resources for firefighting, public safety, and land management. Effective wildland fire policies seek to minimize damage to lives, property, and the environment while recognizing that fire is a natural process in many ecosystems.
