Ponderosa pine in Washington state tell the story of the importance of fire in our forests. Reese Lolley with @Conserve_WA explains how these trees survived hundreds of years with fire, and how re-introducing good, strategically-applied fire can keep our forests healthy. 🔥

Get your umbrellas and rain boots out for Friday. @NWSSanAntonio is predicting a widespread 3 - 5 inches of rainfall in the San Antonio metro area. Pockets of heavier rainfall could produce flooding of some creeks, smaller tributaries, and low water crossings. 🌧️☔️💧

The SAFD Wildland Response Team teamed up with Texas Parks and Wildlife to preform a prescribed burn at Kronkosky State Natural Area. We do this for fuel maintenance, and to further our knowledge in suppression and fire behavior in specific fuel types for our area.
