Riley Porter (Draper City Wildland Fuels Crew) described frontline fuel-reduction work: sawyers cut trees and brush, swampers pile cut material for winter prescribed burns or mulching, and crews also chip material. Porter said the work aims to keep fires as low 'creeping fire' rather than reaching tree canopies by creating breaks between fuels and canopies and by clearing understory along trails.
