Fire Management in the Midwest
People have a love-hate relationship with fire, and for good reason. Under the right conditions, fire can be useful, enjoyable, and even necessary for survival. In the wrong time and place, however, it can be destructive and life-threatening.
Prescribed fire is used by land managers to improve wildlife habitat and reduce the risk of dangerous fires. Wildfire, on the other hand, can threaten life and property with little notice, if it occurs near homes.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is working to make fire a positive force in the Midwest. You can do your part by “fire-proofing” your home and property. Together, we can keep fire on our side.
