An island of green remains in one area of the Cherry Fire: The Prescott National Forest completed a fuels reduction project in the green area in summer 2001. |
A burned hillside with hand line surrounding it: Fire fighters remove fuels on the forest floor, down to mineral soil, to prevent the fire's spread. |
The Cherry Fire stopped here when it ran up against a brush-crush project area. Brush crushing is a type of fuels management. In this project area, 1,200 acres of brush were literally crushed in order to reduce the threat that wildland fire posed to the community of Cherry. |
Members of the Yavapai County Jeep Posse Search and Rescue unit staff a road closure. |
