Breaking: New prescribed fire started in El Dorado County on Nov. 14
Briefly

The newly initiated prescribed burn, Fallen Leaf 172, is a critical measure by the United States Forest Service aimed at preventing catastrophic wildfires in El Dorado County. Prescribed burns are methodically planned and executed to safely reduce excess vegetation that can fuel larger fires, ultimately benefiting ecological health and community safety.
Prescribed fire is seen as an effective wildfire prevention method. This approach involves systematically burning a designated area under controlled conditions, which mitigates the risk of raging wildfires that can devastate vast landscapes and threaten human life.
