Abstract: | Fires were a part of the landscape long before European settlers appeared in North America. Some were started by Indians accidentally and others were set deliberately to improve hunting or to provide lush feed for livestock. This brochure discusses kinds of fire, benefits, and challenges for fire management in the modern day. |
