Prescribed fire is a part of life in Southwestern Colorado. Designed to reduce the chance of catastrophic wildfire and restore or maintain healthy forests, many prescribed fires take place in the urban/wildland interface, where communities and public lands meet. KSJD’s Cara Gildar talks with Matt Traynham, Dolores District Fire Management Officer about the prescribed fire planning process and the upcoming season.
