INDFIRECA-013

A firefighter runs quickly over the charred ground of a low-intensity indigenous prescribed burn near Weitchpec, CA, in October. The small flames of this fire are created and maintained through a deep knowledge of ideal climatic conditions like humidity, plant species, and soil composition. The fire is created and walked along a small section at a time to prevent increasing its intensity.
