An approximately 20-acre prescribed burn was conducted by forestry staff at Fort Indiantown Gap, Feb. 28, 2012. Prescribed burns are a forestry management technique used to reduce the amount of combustible material naturally existing in the wilderness. They are conducted when conditions such as humidity, wind, temperature are ideal for managing fires. Prescribed burns are not conducted unless all required weather conditions are met. The prescribed burn season at Fort Indiantown Gap for this half of 2012 should last through April. (Photo by Tom Cherry/Released)
