    Wildfire Mechanical Fuel Treatments

    Metadata Updated: August 25, 2025

    Dataset description - Wildfire mechanical fuel treatments are vegetation reduction projects also known as "Shaded fuel Breaks". Shaded fuel breaks are wildfire mitigation techniques used for wooded areas near homes and other structures. The foliage is reduced by trimming low-hanging branches, the clearing of undergrowth, and the removal of dead and downed trees. The shaded fuel break is designed so that a wildfire that reaches this area may be more easily controlled.

    Calculation: STRUCTURES PROTECTED / YEAR Measure Time Period: Annually (Fiscal Year) Automated: yes Date of last description update: March 30, 2020
