Summary[edit]

Description

Wildfire burning near high voltage Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) power lines. Fire managers take great care to prevent the fire or smoke from impacting the lines.

Allowing a low to moderate intensity wildfire to burn creates open space, returns nutrients to the soil, and burns off fuels that would increase hazardous conditions during a more severe wildfire. (Snake Ridge Fire - May 22, 2017 - Jason McElfresh, Deputy Incident Commander).
