Yes. Prescribed burns remove the dangerous buildup of fuels under controlled conditions. Then, if a wildfire does occur, it will be of lower intensity and is more likely to stay on the ground and not get into the crowns of the trees. The Polhemus prescribed burn, for example, has currently slowed the advance of the Hayman fire in that area and brought the fire out of the tree crowns and down on the ground.
