FOREST SERVICE BAER SPECIALISTS ASSESS BLACK BURNED AREA While many wildfires cause little damage to the land and pose few threats to natural resources and people downstream, some fires create situations that require special efforts to prevent additional damage after wildfires. Loss of vegetation exposes soil to erosion; water runoff may increase and cause flooding, sediments may move downstream and damage property or fill reservoirs and put endangered species and community water supplies at-risk.
