Firefighters with the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department watch over a prescribed burn Nov. 1, 2018, on North Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. Personnel 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 also improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species, restore and maintain native plant communities, and reduce wildfire potential. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
