The Mendocino NF Fall 2024spring 2025 Fire Projects initiated in Glenn County focus on prescribed fire as a management tool. Conducted by a dedicated fire crew, this project aims to mimic natural fire processes, reduce hazardous fuel loads, and meet ecological restoration goals. Safe burn windows, influenced by environmental factors, are critical for successful execution. While smoke may be visible, residents are advised that these controlled burns are essential for protecting the environment and local communities from wildfires.
Prescribed fire is a critical ecological tool that mimics the natural role of fire, helping mitigate hazardous fuel build-up that can lead to extreme wildfire behavior.
Fire managers assess numerous factors, such as wind and humidity, to ensure safe prescribed fire activities that protect both natural resources and local communities.
