Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge
Before |
Refuge fire managers completed four projects to reduce wildfire
risk in this fast-growing community, where numerous fast-moving
lightning and human-caused fires occur each year. Fire staff
used a tracked brush cutter to reduce hazardous brush on 70 forested
acres. |
This treatment, in combination with past thinning,
clearing, and fuel breaks, will reduce potential fire behavior,
and increase the effectiveness of local engine crews when fires
occur. |
