fire recovery

After the flames

Fire recovery is the process of restoring land, structures, or communities after a fire, particularly a wildfire.

The term encompasses ecological restoration—allowing burned forests to regenerate—as well as rebuilding homes and infrastructure: The fire recovery effort will take years.

Recovery may also refer to salvaging undamaged materials from fire-damaged property.
