Fire Behavior
To promote forest health and reduce hazardous buildups of brush, branches, and needles that could result in a catastrophic wildfire, the Airport Road South Prescribed Fire was conducted on May 11, 2016, by the BLM Carson City District-Sierra Front Field Office. This photo shows low fire consuming needles, brush, and branches, making more room for the Jeffrey pines to grow and reducing the chances of wildfire.
