wildfire control

Explanation:

Cattle grazing has been used as an effective wild fire control.  On a yearly basis, grazing can reduce the amount and alter the continuity of fine fuels, potentially changing wildfire fire spread and intensity (Stand et al., 2018).

Historically, however, grazing pressure was one of greatest tools for reducing fine fuels that carry wildfires (Miller et al., 1994).

Livestock are very important in reducing the risk of wildfire because they remove the fine fuels; this removal of fine fuels by livestock grazing results in less occurrences of fire hazards.
