Fire

As the BLM manages the National Conservation Lands for the benefit of all Americans, one key to protecting and restoring these special places is fire prevention, suppression, and proactive fuels management.

The Bureau of Land Management is making major strides in putting America’s public lands to work for the American people.

Cooler days don't end fire danger. In fall, dry grasses, leaves, and strong winds fuel fast moving fires; while hunting and camping add sparks. Prevention matters just as much now as in summer.

A recent collaborative effort between the BLM California Mother Lode Field Office and its partners helped slow the Tiger Fire, ensuring public safety and saving homes in Amador County, California.

State of New Mexico officials gave a big thank you to all the firefighters, including those from the BLM, who fought the Camp Fire from May 25 to June 10 and saved the fort’s main historic buildings from burning.
