Fuels Reduction is activity that addresses fuel loading - a buildup of easily ignited, fast-burning combustible materials. Fuel loading transforms periodic, naturally occurring fires that reinvigorate the land and allow fire-adapted seed pods to open, into fires that burn so quickly, and so hot, that they destroy fire-adapted heritage trees and landscapes.
