By Zoila Palma: The Belize Forest Department is carrying out planned burns and fuel management operations in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve as part of preparations for the fire season.
The controlled burns are intended to reduce the amount of combustible vegetation and fuel available to wildfires, helping to lower the risk of uncontrolled fires spreading through forested areas and threatening nearby communities.
The Forest Department promotes prescribed burning as one of its wildfire prevention measures, particularly in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. The practice is aimed at managing vegetation while protecting forests and reducing the potential severity of future wildfires.
The department is encouraging the public to support wildfire prevention efforts and exercise caution with activities that could start fires.
