Treatments such as brushing, chipping, piling, fuel break construction, and prescribed fire have been shown to reduce the risk of wildland fire and the severity of fires that do occur. The objective is to treat fuels present on units identified to reduce fuel loading and optimize the treatment of those fuels to the most effective burning period.
