A wildland firefighter prepares to throw a flare along a fuel break on Backbone Ridge April 15. Using flares and drip torches firefighters widened the existing fuel break that sectioned off the peninsula as a way to keep the prescribed fire in a certain area and under control.
A prescribed fire was conducted by wildland firefighters with Shasta-Trinity National Forest near Shasta Lake April 15-16, 2023.
During the first day firefighters widened an existing fuel break that sectioned off the peninsula. The next day they reintroduced fire across the 3,000-acre peninsula to achieve multiple objectives. Some of those objectives include reducing wildfire risk to communities, supporting wildlife habitat and forest health. (USDA Forest Service photo by Andrew Avitt)
