Once The Fire Is Out.. What Next? (1970s)

The film discusses the extensive efforts required to manage and rehabilitate areas affected by wildfires in national forests. With over 120,000 acres burning, thousands of personnel, including specialized teams, work to control the fires and assess damage. The aftermath of wildfires can lead to severe erosion, water quality issues, and flooding, particularly when critical watersheds are impacted. Rehabilitation involves immediate actions like seeding and constructing barriers to stabilize the soil, with a focus on restoring ecological balance. The film highlights the collaboration among various agencies and the importance of timely intervention to protect communities and the environment.
