Fire Management



Fire has an ecological role in nearly all forest ecosystems in North America. The challenge is to manage fire so that is has a positive rather than a destructive role. Short Forestry has extensive experience in fire management across the U.S. We can help you with:

  • Fire hazard and risk assessment
  • Fire hazard and Firewise planning and mitigation
  • Community Wildfire Protection Plan development
