Prescribed burn at Modoc National Wildlife Refuge USFWS firefighters worked with our partner firefighters from Modoc National Forest and CAL FIRE to successfully implement a 300-acre prescribed fire on the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge on 1/27/2022. The prescribed fire objective was to reduce the fuel load in the marsh; therefore, reducing the threat during wildfire season. A secondary objective is to reduce the thatch in the marsh from previous year marsh grass growth. Migratory birds will be able to find food and water easier with less thatch. Photo of newly burned are featuring a single smoke cloud by USFWS.
