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.
