Unplanned Fire
Lightning, abandoned campfires, errant fireworks, a flicked cigarette, earthquakes, lava—these are all causes of unplanned fire. Different from planned fire, or prescribed fire, only in its name; taking into consideration all of the necessary facts like weather conditions, terrain and geography, and available resources to inform their decisions.
