Hazardous Fuels Reduction

What is Hazardous Fuels Reduction?

Hazardous fuels are overgrown shrubs, grasses and dead or downed trees that can lead to more intense wildland fires. Hazardous fuels reduction is a program that allows managers to cooperate with states, counties and other federal agencies to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildland fires in the wildland urban interface, where homes meet the forest.
