Prescribed burns are carried out throughout the Northern Territory at the end of the wet season. They are controlled fires deliberately set and monitored by trained professionals under specific weather and vegetation conditions.
These fires protect the community by reducing the risk of bushfires, managing vegetation, and promoting ecosystem health.
