By removing small plants that provide fuel for fires and by getting rid of plants near buildings so they will not burn down. Controlled burns help reduce the amount of flammable vegetation in a specific area, decreasing the potential fuel for wildfires. Additionally, by managing the vegetation near buildings, the risk of fires spreading to structures is reduced.
