Specialists from the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Fire Service unload the all-terrain vehicle which carries the Terra Torch – the tool they will use to make short work of brush piles as part of a prescribed burn project in U.S. Army Alaska’s Donnelly Training Area near Fort Greely Nov. 4, 2016. The piles were created by U.S. Army Alaska hand crews working to remove dead and decaying vegetation and black spruce in an effort to reduce the chances of a wildfire on military lands. AFS provides wildland fire management for 1.6 million acres of military withdrawn public land under an interagency service agreement with U.S. Army Alaska. (Army photo/John Pennell)
