Making the case for prescribed fire
Prescribed fire is a valuable tool used to restore forest health, increase firefighter safety, and better protect nearby human resources in fire-adapted landscapes.

Great video-Plan it, log or thin it, prep it, train using it, tell your story. Pretty simple concepts
My concern with precribed fire is the extent to which the habitat is cut and piled then burned. It is the risk reduction/ control effort before the precribed fires and the fact that they are often done like in spring when species did not adapt with such. You can totally throw the baby out with the bathwater.
A very instructional video. Nicely done. The magnitude of the job ahead to conduct “aggressive forest management [including prescribed fire] to ensure effective fire management” is enormous. But we must begin now to fix the forests so we can attain a fire fix. Again, a great job on this video.
