Spring prescribed fire season is approaching at Arnold AFB

Pictured is a prescribed fire, or controlled burn, at Arnold Air Force Base. Prescribed fire is the most efficient and economical tool when managing natural ecosystems, allowing land managers to alter and improve the native ecosystems without utilizing more costly methods such as bush hogging, under brushing, and herbicide applications.
