Wildfire Prevention & Investigation Texas Wildfire Authority: What we do.
Wildland fires burn millions of acres each year, cost billions of dollars, damage homes and critical natural resources, and result in deaths. The size and intensity of wildland fires have increased in recent decades, partly due to climate change, and many scientists and researchers expect fires to become larger and more severe in the future.
As wildfire consultants we service landowners, communities, and organizations by conducting field investigations of cause and origin, and consultation and estimation of effects of wildfires on natural resources, such as loss of forage for livestock and impacts to vegetation and wildlife. We also assist in creating prescribed burn plans, and consulting on land use planning to reduce the risk of wildfires.
We service government agencies, landowners, communities, and organizations and assist in both identifying wildfire causes and affects and developing wildfire risk assessments, creating mitigation strategies, implementing presecribed burns, and offering advice on land use planning to reduce the risk of wildfires.
We help minimize the impact of wildfires on properties and communities while promoting safety and enviromental conservation.
