Unfortunately it's not as clear that fire risk is lowered by a one off burn. There are then many dead trees that are tinder in the coming seasons. Prescribed burns work when they are regular and done in a less damaging season like spring where they burn slower due to plant moisture content etc, and hopefully kill fewer trees.
