Sharing some of the good work on the #Jemez Ranger District where #fire crews are taking advantage of good conditions - including #snow on the ground - to burn #piles to reduce the risk of #wildfire in the 2020 fire season. #prescribedfire#workfornature
Prescribed fire is a planned fire; it is also known as “controlled burn.” A Rx fire is one of the most important tools used to reduce wildfire risk to communities, restore habitats, & to achieve land-management objectives. #RxFire
