A video of California’s wildlife authority conducting a controlled burn at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in February is being misrepresented online as an arsonist sparking a wildfire. The 39-second clip shows an individual airboating through a wetland area and using a terra torch to burn some grassy sections. Reuters traced the video to the official Facebook page of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex, a protected area managed by the U.S. Reuters reported in June 2023 on prescribed burning in California, which experts and fire officials consider an important tool to lower wildfire risks by preemptively burning dry timber and other fire fodder (here). The video shows prescribed burning at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge.
