ALT A firefighter uses a Terra Torch during a prescribed fire on a wooded hillside. Prescribed fires help address overgrown understories that can fuel extreme wildfires. The firefighter faces the hill, his back to the camera, aiming the torch up the hill. Flame arcs from the torch between trees. Yellow and orange flames already burn from vegetation along the ground and fallen trees. Photo by Austin Catlin, BLM.
