Wildland Fire Management

Wildfire Prevention

Reducing sparks emitted into the environment greatly decreases the chance that a wildfire will occur and damage property, the environment, or even take the lives of firefighters or citizens.

Wildfire Rehabilitation & Restoration

Post-wildfire rehabilitation is the application of procedures and techniques aimed at stabilizing soils and aiding the return of normal hydrologic and biologic functions on a site after wildfire. Fire is a natural process in many of Nevada’s ecosystems and is necessary to maintain diversity of wildlife and plant species. Rehabilitation is necessary when certain circumstances threaten human life, property or ecosystem sustainability.

Services
