Prescribed burning is the deliberate and careful control of fires to help prevent more destructive fires or to kill off unwanted plants that compete with commercial species for plant nutrients. This webinar will focus on a prescribed burning case study in Flint Hills, Kansas.
This presentation will discuss EPA’s emergency response efforts to the Maui wildfires and ongoing research to further understand contamination of water infrastructure.
