Sequoia National Park, California

1995

Raymond Gehman

Navigating a road filled with smoke from a prescribed burn can be a
dangerous drive. Prescribed burns, while beneficial for the forest, can
cause residual problems. Smoke causes low visibility and also
negatively effects tourism, an issue that keeps prescribed burns from
being used to prevent larger, more devastating forest fires.

Essential Element of Fire," September 1996, National Geographic
magazine)
