What are wind brakes:

Windbreaks are rows of trees, shrubs, or man-made barriers planted to reduce wind speed and protect the land.

Ways how wind brakes can control wildfires:

• Slow wind speed, which helps stop fires from spreading quickly.

• Act as physical barriers that can block or redirect flames and embers.

• Trap flying embers, reducing the chance of new fires starting ahead of the main fire.
