Fuel treatments refer to a variety of management practices aimed at reducing the amount of flammable material in forests and landscapes in order to mitigate the risk of wildfires. These treatments can include thinning, prescribed burning, and mechanical removal of fuels such as dead trees, shrubs, and underbrush. The goal of fuel treatments is to create fire-resistant landscapes that can help protect communities and ecosystems from the destructive impacts of wildfires. Fuel treatments are an important component of wildfire management and play a key role in promoting forest health and resilience.
