Controlled burns remove dead vegetation that contributes to the start and spread of wildfires. This process, also known as prescribed burning or fire management, reduces the amount of fuel available for potential wildfires, lowering the intensity and spread of future fires. By doing this, controlled burns can help to create a less intense and more manageable fire situation should a wildfire occur.
