If there is no danger, these fires are observed. Prescribed burning is a land management tool used to reduce built-up fuels in forested areas. In addition to protecting neighborhoods and businesses, it also improves the health of ecosystems.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) President Bush Saturday said U.S. fire prevention strategy has been "shortsighted" and called for a greater emphasis on thinning and clearing of forest brush and trees to help prevent wildfires that have burnt the United States during this hot, dry summer. In his Saturday radio address, he said he is directing Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman and Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton to "speed up the process of thinning on public lands" and wants Congress to "pass legislation that will ensure that vital forest restoration projects are not tied up in courts forever." "As we work to put out the fires and bring relief to their victims, we also have a responsibility to prevent the devastation that can be caused by future fires," Bush said. "For too long, America's fire prevention strategy has been shortsighted."

    Back to Previous Page Reporting forest fires. British There can be over 2,500 forest fires throughout the province in an average year. Lightning  
    http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/protect/reporting/
    
    Extractions: British Columbia has over 95 million hectares of forests, or approximately one million square kilometres. There can be over forest fires throughout the province in an average year. Lightning accounts for approximately half of these fires and the other half is due to human activities. The Forest Service has many ways to locate and detect fires, including lightning locators, air patrols and lookout towers, but nearly one third of all fires are detected and reported by the general public. Every fire season in British Columbia the toll-free number for reporting forest fires ( or on most cellular networks) is displayed on road signs, on Ministry of Forests trucks and throughout the media. Wildfire reports to this number have resulted in immeasurable savings in property damage, forest resources and fire suppression dollars. What will happen if you see a fire that appears to be unattended, and call to report it? The more information you have and the better you can answer the following types of questions, the easier it is for the Fire Centres and fire crews to locate and action the fire. 1. An agent at the Provincial Forest Fire Reporting Centre (PFFRC) at Protection headquarters in Victoria will answer your call.
