Fire Risk Reduction Learning Opportunities

Lyle is naturally a fire prone area with historic fires starting from lightening, volcanic eruptions and in more recent history, a variety of human causes, including prescribed burning from farmers and indigenous peoples over centuries.

Reducing fire risk can dramatically reduce fire spread and severity.

Knowing this history, preparing for fire season and reducing fire risk is important.
