Evan Strickland, an equipment operator with Fort Stewart’s Forestry Branch, ignites a baseline fire upwind along a dirt road in the base’s training area, Feb. 3, 2020. Upwind baseline fires will spread downwind until reaching areas that have been set ablaze through aerial ignition, small balls of incendiary substances dropped from a helicopter. FS Forestry Branch conducts prescribed burns, also known as controlled burns, to reduce the risk and intensity of potential wildfires, improve training areas and endangered species’ habitats.
