Prescribed fire is a key tool in reducing wildfire risk
(Redding, CA May 13, 2026) — The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is planning prescribed fire operations starting this Friday, May 15, 2026. We estimate this work could continue through the weekend, as weather conditions allow and pending all required approvals.
We use prescribed fires to reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.
