fireroad
Wilderness access lane
A fireroad is an unpaved road cut through forest or brush, maintained for firefighting access.
These roads allow emergency vehicles to reach remote areas and serve as firebreaks to slow the spread of wildfire.
Hikers and mountain bikers often use fireroads as trails: We took the fireroad up the ridge.
Also spelled fire road.
