United States Forest Service

The United States Forest Service was a United States government agency responsible for maintaining the lands under its care. 
For more than a century, this agency worked hard to suppress wildfires. However, their practice lead to the accumulation of plants in many areas of the Western United States. When the agency became aware of the situation and the danger it posed, they attempted to fix the current practice by practicing the use of "prescribed" or controlled burning. ()
