    A wildland firefighter in standard protective gear is using a drip torch to conduct a prescribed burn on a dry, grassy hillside. The controlled fire is actively burning through dried grass and brush, with flames visible both near the worker and further up the slope. This appears to be a deliberate fire management operation rather than an emergency response.
    Two wildland firefighters are conducting a prescribed burn on a dry grass hillside under clear blue skies. One firefighter wearing a yellow helmet is managing the fire while the other, wearing a red helmet, carries a drip torch used to intentionally ignite vegetation. The scene depicts a controlled burn operation, a land management technique used to reduce fuel loads and prevent larger wildfires.
