firebreaks and fire lines
Firebreaks and fire lines are cleared areas or gaps in vegetation that act as barriers to slow down or stop the spread of wildfire. They are created by removing fuel sources such as plants, trees, and debris, creating a separation between the fire and surrounding vegetation. These breaks and lines are essential for containing fire outbreaks, protecting property, and allowing firefighters to safely control wildfires.
