Wildland fire suppression

Wildland fire suppression involves strategies and tools used to control and extinguish wildfires in forests and grasslands. Firefighters assess the fire's behavior, weather conditions, and landscape to determine the best approach. They create containment lines by removing vegetation and breaking the fire's fuel supply. They may also use water, fire retardants, and specialized equipment to slow or stop the fire’s spread. The goal is to protect lives, property, and natural resources while containing the fire efficiently and safely. Effective suppression requires coordination among personnel, equipment, and techniques tailored to the specific firefighting situation.
