![]() Typically, what you just described is usually the result of us doing mechanical treatments in forested lands. And there were hundreds of piles of brush that were set up, and they were waiting for a truck to take it out of there. ![]() And so if you get rid of that brush, that type of thing, and then that will prevent fires?īecause I’ve seen that in action once on the east coast on an island off of North Carolina that were very highly treed. ![]() In other words, there’s a lot of growth down on the ground that can light up and then therefore transferred to the trees. So vegetation management, it means removing different types of vegetation from the American forests, which in turn reduces fuels, which in turns affects fire severity, or the severity of a fire. I would say it is approach to deal with mitigating fuels, so that we can reduce maybe in future years, the amount of suppression activity that we have to engage in, and actually reduce severity of wildfires and how people experience them currently.Īnd when you say mitigating fuels, what does that actually mean? Because the trees themselves are the fuel at some point. Yeah, my sense of reading the strategy is that it’s primarily aimed at prevention of forest fires and wildfires, correct? And in order to change that experience, the strategy lays out the type of efforts we need to take, the scale of the work we need to do, the amount of acres we need to treat in order to change that experience. Right now, America’s forests are in an emergency crisis when it comes to wildfire. And the wildfire crisis strategy really is a vision of what it’s going to take for us to really have a different experience when it comes to wildfire, both communities, people and our natural resources.
