Fuels reduction efforts encompass a range of projects aimed at mitigating the risk and severity of wildfires by reducing the amount and continuity of flammable vegetation. These projects typically involve activities such as thinning dense vegetation, removing hazardous fuels, conducting prescribed burns, and creating defensible spaces around structures. The primary objectives of fuels reduction projects are to enhance forest resilience, protect communities from wildfire threats, and restore fire-adapted ecosystems to a healthier state. By strategically managing vegetation and fuel loads, these projects aim to minimize the intensity and spread of wildfires, thereby safeguarding both human communities and natural landscapes.
