From the text ... 'The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service manages fire to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats, while first ensuring human safety and then protecting our facilities and neighboring communities. Prescribed fire and other means maintain and restore vegetation in natural areas while reducing the risk of damaging wildfire to land and property.Living Safe with Fire: In recent years of rapid growth of communities around our lands, the acquisition of more urban refuges, and the increase in critical habitat for declining species has increased the complexity of issues for fire managers. Thinning overgrown vegetation around these areas has become more important to reduce the risk of damaging wildfire to these human and biological communities.'
