Sometimes those in forestry use tools, such as a driptorch, a device that allows a steady stream of flaming liquid to be directed at the ground. This basically shoots a stream of fire. It’s far more precise than just letting a fire take its course over land. It’s also used to clear spots that the controlled burn might have missed.

Even though forest fires are undoubtedly dangerous for people and result in a lot of damage, in the big picture of the forest life cycle (which spans thousands of years), they are actually a good thing. They are nature’s way of cleaning house to allow for new possibilities. The increased human presence has shaped how forests have evolved, but not the basic benefits of forest fires. When the fires rage out of control, as they did in the Okanogan Complex fire, the damage is extensive. However, those in forestry often set fires intentionally to generate the positive results described above. These are called controlled burns.
