All of this smoke comes from “Good Fire” – it is again the fire season for the Marshbrennze

From samwalkerobxnews.com

The fire season is again prescribed in North Carolina, since every year in late winter and early spring there are deliberate fires in Sumpfland and the signatures of forests to benefit the environment and prevent the tax fire outside of the tax fire.

Controlled fires are important for the preservation of birds and wild animals along the swamp areas of Coastal North Carolina. They enable healthy growth and increased variety of plants that contain food, protection and nesting material for thriving birds.

And they reduce fuels in areas where houses and structures are at risk in the event of a forest fire.

The process imitates the natural renewal cycle generated by nature, in which a flash puts the grass on fire.

With over 13.5 million hectares, North Carolina leads the nation in the interface between the wildland and the city, where human development affects undeveloped wildland, forest or vegetative fuels.

After all the necessary permits have been received from the NC Forest Service, the managers of wildlife books and private landowners are waiting for the proper wind conditions to ensure the safest combustion.

Winds of up to a certain speed can actually help to move the fire quickly towards the water where it burns down, and prevent the flames from spreading to areas that fire brigade leaders do not want to ignite.

And by only lit part of the swamp that enables wild animals to search for protection.

So expect that more of these large clouds of smoke along the soundside of the outer banks and the mainland Northheastern North Carolina will see in the coming weeks.
