The Plantation Thin prescribed fire project began on January 13 in Humboldt County, California. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, this controlled burn is a strategic wildfire prevention initiative that has been active for 23 days. Prescribed fires play a crucial role in mitigating the risk of catastrophic wildfires by intentionally igniting and managing smaller fires to regulate forest growth and reduce fuel. This method not only promotes forest health but also safeguards surrounding communities from uncontrolled wildfires.
The prescribed fire, known as Plantation Thin, initiated on January 13, aims to manage wildfires through a controlled burn on federal land.
