Wildfire Control
Wildfire control involves various strategies to prevent, manage, and extinguish wildfires. Techniques include creating firebreaks, which are gaps in vegetation that stop the fire from spreading, and controlled burns, where small, manageable fires are set to reduce fuel for larger wildfires.
Firefighters, often supported by aircraft like helicopters and air tankers, work to contain wildfires using water and fire retardants. Community education and preparedness are also crucial, as they help residents understand how to protect their homes and evacuate safely during a wildfire event.
