Prescribed fire is a vital tool that mimics natural fire cycles, reducing hazardous fuel buildup, and ultimately minimizing the risks of extreme wildfires to communities and ecosystems.
Fire managers employ a risk-management strategy for prescribed burns, ensuring they consider local conditions such as humidity, wind, and air quality to protect both the public and resources.
Through proper implementation of prescribed fire, the Forest Service aims not only to manage fuel loads but also to restore ecological health and enhance habitats for various species.
The Mendocino Nf Fall 2024spring 2025 Fire Project illustrates proactive fire management practices, aiming to balance ecological restoration with community safety amid increasing wildfire risks.
