WUI fuel management reduces potential fire intensity and rate of spread by reducing the fuel load in the lower forest canopy. This video discusses our Type Five treatment, which is the retreatment of previously treated areas. The rate at which post-treatment coniferous regeneration increases fuel loads is moderated by shade from retained overstory, retention of deciduous shrub vegetation, and seeding disturbed areas with ground cover mixtures. Some restocking by conifers is,
