wildfire prevention
Stopping uncontrolled burns
Wildfire prevention encompasses measures taken to reduce the risk of uncontrolled fires in forests, grasslands, and wildland-urban interfaces.
This includes clearing brush, creating firebreaks, controlling campfires, and public education campaigns: Smokey Bear has been the face of wildfire prevention since 1944.
Prevention efforts have grown increasingly urgent as climate change extends fire seasons and intensifies drought conditions.
