Wildland fires, especially wildfires, are not commonly thought of as fuel treatments; however, because fires consume fuels and alter vegetation structure, they can serve as fuel treatments similar to more traditional means (e.g., mechanical or prescribed fire). To consider previously burned areas when managing subsequent fires, managers need information pertaining to the effectiveness and longevity of wildland fires as fuel treatments. This study was designed to quantify how wildfire influences subsequent fire occurrence, fire progression (size), and fire severity.
