Controlled burn
BARKSDALE AFB, La. (AFPN) -- Mark Gates performs a perimeter burn using a terra torch mounted to the rear of an all-terrain vehicle. The 200-acre burn Jan. 26 was a timber stand improvement burn, and is one of 10 scheduled controlled burns on Barksdale's East Reservation this year. The burning is conducted to reduce overall fire fuel on the ground, which in turn helps prevent forest fires. Mr. Gates is the base biologist here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Stephen J.
