    A group of wildland firefighters in yellow Nomex fire-resistant suits are gathered along a rural road beside two red brush/wildland fire trucks equipped with hose reels and pump equipment. The scene appears to be at the edge of a recently burned or scorched area, with charred ground visible on the roadside. Personnel appear to be regrouping or preparing equipment after or during a wildland fire suppression operation.

    Personnel supporting a prescribed burn prepare to start Dec. 1, 2017, at an area along railroad tracks on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. Personnel with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department; Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch; Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security; and the Colorado State University Center of Environmental Management of Military Lands under contract with the post help coordinate each prescribed burn at the post. Prescribed burns, generally, are done in the spring and fall seasons because weather conditions are most favorable at those times. Prescribed burns also improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species, restore and maintain native plant communities, and reduce wildfire potential. This was the first time in recent history where a prescribed burn was held in December. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
