The U.S. Forest Service says prescribed fires are the best way to prevent wildfires. Learn about the benefits of these burns.
Spokesperson Shayne Martin, “a healthy forecast is capable of self-renewal following drought, wildfire, beetle outbreaks, and other forest stresses and disturbances—much as a healthy person stands a good chance of recovering from a disease or injury.”The U.S. Forest Service conducts prescribed fires during the fall, winter and early spring. The weather has to be suitable for a prescribed fire, to ensure the safety of the crew and surroundings.
Along with the protection that prescribed fires provide for the land and people who live around it, it can also provide benefits for animals. Last spring, an escaped prescribed fire in New Mexico ended up becoming the largest and most destructive wildfire in state history.
