Stanley officials work to protect town from wildfires

The hamlet of Stanley in Idaho is looking for ways to protect the community from wildfires. Nestled in a valley surrounded by lodgepole pine forests that haven't burned for decades, the community has talked to Parks Canada staff from BC and Alberta about their prescribed burn program. As explained in this article from the Idaho Statesman, using a similar program near Stanley could prevent large, uncontrolled fires that would be devastating to the community.
