Fire Ecology

Definition
Fire ecology is the relationship between fire, the physical environment, and living organisms. Fire can be a natural and human-caused process. Depending on the intensity, duration, extent, season, and frequency, fire can be beneficial or destructive. Humans have employed fire to maintain grasslands, fertilize farms, and as a weapon of war. Fire prevention in certain forests has caused ecosystem, safety, and financial problems.

On 07.07.07 I was 80% burned by a prairie fire at Pine Ridge Reservation. I lost over half of my buffalo herd. The BIA fire fighters were negligent. I am interested in learning how to get a prairie fire fighting truck for our community that can be community owned and volunteer trained.
