🔥Not all fire is bad!

As part of @mycarolinacbs17's year-round series exploring North Carolina’s forests, Jennifer Fawcett, an extension specialist in wildland fire at @ncstate, joins My Carolina to explain how prescribed fire helps maintain healthy forests.

Jennifer also addresses common misconceptions about prescribed fire and highlights resources available to landowners and communities interested in learning more.
