FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. -- Installation natural resources personnel conduct a prescribed burn to reduce the risk of wildfire and improve the quality of wildlife habitat on the more than 17,000-acre training center. Prescribed burns are a commonly used land management technique that reduces the amount of combustible material (leaf litter and dead grass naturally occurring in the natural landscape) and performed only when conditions such as humidity, wind, and temperature are ideal for managing fires and not conducted unless all required weather conditions are met. The installation has conducted more than 200 prescribed burns over the past 15 years. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Ted Nichols/Released)
