Fire

Extension Fire Program

Forests across the western United States are stressed from high tree densities, drought, and insect and disease outbreaks. Past management practices along with more human-caused wildfire and changes in weather are causing wildfires to burn hotter, longer, more frequent, and over greater areas. We need to be more proactive, not reactive. The Extension Fire Program fosters healthy communities and landscapes by empowering people to live well with fire.
