Description
A controlled burn at night with a wildland firefighter silhouetted against the flames. Controlled burns are used to reduce the chance of a potentially significant wildfire by burning available fuel at a lower level of intensity. They also eliminate many exotic plants that may take over from native plants and improve the habitat for wildlife. Several species of plants and animals depend upon fire to survive. The fires mimic the natural fire cycle in Florida that existed prior to the arrival of humans; fires naturally start as a result of lightning and would burn large areas before going out on their own.
