Vocabulary
Prescribed fires are used by land management agencies, such as the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service and state-level park services, to maintain and restore fire-dependent environments. Low-intensity, prescribed fires are used to remove the buildup of what is called wildland fuel load, which is made up of fallen leaves and timber. If left to accumulate, this fuel load can cause devastating damage during a wildfire. While there are many advantages to using controlled burns, several criticisms can be leveled at the practice.
