FIRE economy

Fire Economy is a term used to describe an economy in which natural resources like forests and land are managed with fire. Fire is a natural part of many ecosystems, and when managed well it can help keep the land and forests healthy. To do this, people use controlled burns, which are fires set on purpose to clear away brush and dead plants so that there’s more grass and new plants that can help the land stay fruitful. This helps make sure that the land is healthy and helps keep away unwanted plants and animals. By having a healthy land, it also helps other animals have safe homes, and it can help provide resources for people like wood for building or for food.
