Millions of dollars of new funding is getting put to work to prepare for fire season here in Washington. While state leaders say this money will make a significant difference in fighting fires, they stress that this is just a start."The phrase people might hear is something called a burn prescription.
And it is similar to a healthcare prescription, very trained, highly-techical professionals go out, and they examine the land, they walk the land, they map the land and determine what type of prescribed fires work for an area, if prescribed fires work for an area. And most importantly, what kind of resources they need and personnel equipment to keep it under control," Will Rubin of DNR told FOX 13.
