In 2017, wildfire neared Roslyn; 9 years later, the town burned 500+ acres to prevent future fires

Washington communities are increasingly implementing prescribed burns as a strategy to mitigate wildfire risks.

By imitating natural fire cycles, this method effectively decreases fuel accumulation.

Roslyn, a town previously devastated by a wildfire, has embraced this practice extensively, fostering collaboration among various agencies and private landowners.

This innovative strategy provides a fresh perspective on coexisting with wildfire threats.
