Sagehen and SPLATsFinney (1999) – Fire spread rates can be reduced if fire is forced to flank areas of fuels treatmentsFunction as speed bumpsReduces impacts of large severe wildfires
Only a portion of the landscape needs to be treated and maintained to influence overall fire behaviorTreatment prescriptions designed to significantly modify fire behavior in unitRange in size 50 - 1,000 acres (average 100 - 300 acres) Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger DistrictPSW Sagehen Experimental Forest
