Why Do We Leave Dead Trees in the Forest 🪵🌳 Dead trees aren’t just hazards—they’re homes!
When thinning areas affected by mass die-off, we carefully select which trees to leave standing to preserve habitat.

Many think fire is a threat, but in reality, forests evolved with it. For centuries, fire has played a vital role in maintaining balance in forests. But should it only be used near human settlements? Join the conversation on restoring nature's balance! 🌱🔥 #PrescribedFire

When burning Ponderosa Pine litter, be aware of hidden smoldering pockets that can reignite and spark wildfires. Even after a controlled burn, fires can linger under layers of pine litter.

After we finish the controlled burn for the day and some fuels are still burning, we ensure that all the flames are extinguished around the perimeter. We'll return the following day to fully extinguish any remaining hotspots.

Rx firing Ops were conducted today by the USFS Savannah River resources.

210 acres were hand lit to improve forest habitats and reduce potential hazardous wildfire fuels.

Lots of folks burning again out east.

Spain, like California, has a Mediterranean-type ecosystem. Wildfires are growing more intense, but traditional fire use has faded over time.

With decades of fire suppression, our landscapes are overgrown and prone to catastrophic fires. Our communities have faced devastating wildfires, but controlled burns help reduce fuel loads and protect our homes. 🌱🔥

ICS is a standardized structure for managing resources, communication, and safety.
Community Burns are much more relaxed, allowing for the inclusion of non-professional fire practitioners and general members of the public.🌱🔥

🌲🔥 With the help of an amazing team, we managed to burn about five acres safely and effectively. The pine litter burned well, and even the oak leaves caught a bit.

After the devastating Camp Fire, volunteer Lyle Johnson found a new calling—prescribed fire. Now, after nearly five years working fire, even after losing his home in the 2024 Park Fire, Lyle continues to help put Good Fire on the ground
