Wildfire management involves strategies and practices aimed at preventing, controlling, and mitigating the effects of wildfires. This includes creating firebreaks, conducting controlled burns, and maintaining healthy ecosystems to reduce fuel loads. Agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service play key roles in these efforts. Effective wildfire management also includes public education and community preparedness. Residents in fire-prone areas are encouraged to create defensible spaces around their homes and to have emergency plans in place. Collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and environmental organizations is essential for successful wildfire management.
