Eastern Washington forests are overloaded with fuel after a century of fire suppression. Climate change makes summers hotter and drier, driving catastrophic wildfires. With prescribed fire, thinning, and community readiness, we can reduce risk, protect lives, and restore resilient forests.
Why this matters
For decades we put out almost every fire. Fuels built up, forests got denser, and summers got hotter. The result is megafires that destroy homes, threaten lives, and blanket cities in smoke. Proven tools can restore balance and keep communities safer.
