Synopsis: Prognosis: Table notes: "Modified response" describes those fires for which action is taken if there is a possible threat to communities, property or other significant values. 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.

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."

33. Reporting Forest Fires 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/

Reporting Forest Fires 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.

Connecticut traditionally experiences high forest fire danger in the Spring from mid-March through May. DEP's Division of Forestry constantly monitors the danger of forest fire to help protect Connecticut's 1.8 million acres of forested land. Throughout the Spring forest fire season, DEP sends daily advisories on forest fire danger levels to DEP's state park forest field staff, municipalities, fire departments and the media. Forest fire danger levels are classified at low, moderate, high, very high or extreme. In an average year approximately 1,300 acres of Connecticut woodland are scorched by forest fires. If you have received a permit from your local Open Burning Official to burn brush on your property, the permit is not valid if the Forest Fire Danger is rated
