The numbers from 2025 tell a clear story.

➤ 609 total wildfires in Nevada
➤ 345 of those were human-caused (57 percent)
➤ 54,154 acres burned from preventable starts
➤ Top causes: roadside equipment and vehicles, fi****ms and explosives, debris burning

Lightning will always be part of Nevada's fire story. Human-caused starts don't have to be.

Every secured trailer chain, checked tire, drowned campfire, and verified restriction is a fire that doesn't happen. A community that stays whole. A firefighter who stays home. A landscape that stays standing for next season.

Prevention works. And it starts with each of us. Make 2026 different.

It’s well-established that prescribed fire and other fuel-reduction treatments can create significant ecological benefits and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Two new papers attach dollar figures to those impacts.

“For every dollar that the Forest Service spends, we find that the public saves $3.75 in property loss, smoke and health impacts from wildfire smoke and carbon emissions,” said Frederik Strabo, lead author on both of the papers.

The other study found that between $5 and $6 in suppression costs are saved with every $1 spent on fuel mitigation. However, the research shows that larger projects – those above 2,400 acres – are more likely to have positive impacts.

“If we really want to address the crisis, we really need to start scaling them up and start thinking about how we can better design these treatments to have a larger impact,” said Strabo.
