Prescribed fire, or prescribed burn, is a wildfire prevention method that involves carefully orchestrated burning to reduce the risk of major wildfires in vulnerable areas.
The Longshanks prescribed burn began on November 8, 2024, in Placer County, California, and is conducted by the United States Forest Service on federal land.
Details about the crew size and total area burned in the Longshanks controlled fire remain unavailable as the fire continues to operate.
This controlled method of burning land helps to manage and mitigate the threat of catastrophic wildfires in regions susceptible to such dangers.
