A member of the U.S. Forest Service safely demonstrates a flare pistol, used to create a burnout, to Soldiers of the 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion near Stonyford, California on Sept. 2, 2020. A burnout is a fire that is set deliberately in the path of an oncoming fire. As it burns, it consumes fuel, thereby depriving the primary fire of tinder when it reaches a fireline.
The 14th BEB deployed over 200 Soldiers in support of the Department of Defense wildland firefighting response operations. U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible DoD support to the National Interagency Fire Center to respond quickly and effectively to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure and natural and cultural resources.
