Improvement of forest fire prevention infrastructure and restoration of fire-affected areas.

Silvicultural treatments: The goal of vegetation treatments is to modify fire behavior to reduce the forest fires.The objective of these works is to remove enough fuel so when the fire burns it is less severe and can be more easily suppressed._x000D_ _x000D_ The main silvicultural treatments are prunning, clearing, thinning and crushing remains cuttings. In this way, strategic strips are created which are wide land areas where trees have been reduced and also removed sometimes. These areas can slow and even stop the spread of forest fire because they provide fewer fuels to carry the fire. They also provide firefighters with safe zones to take a stand against a fire, or retreat from fire if necessary. Typically, these areas are located in strategic locations based upon terrain, existing roads, community areas, and other key access points. _x000D_ Construction of water points for preventionn or extinction of forest fire._x000D_ Arrangement of forest tracks.
