They are establishing a perimeter to prevent the fire from spreading. Or...they are burning grass and underbrush to save larger trees and their canopies.

Why do plants that grow in shady forest tend to be larger than than plants growing in grasslands?
it's because plants in a shaded forest would not get as much sun due to the trees covering them... therefore the leaves have to be larger in size in order to absorb as much sun as possible and the plant must be taller as it is natural for the plant to reach up for more light if it is not getting much light.

How would firefighters respond to a natural disaster?
Firefighters would help by sandbagging around places so water cant get in, or they'll sandbag a piece of road so that water will only follow that road. Firefighters will help by bringing their fire trucks around to a flooded or flooding site, and pump up as much water as they can into their fire trucks. Firefighters will help by doing their normal activites if a fire has started. Firefighters can help by evacuating people from homes, cars, building, etc Firefighters can help with search and rescue if someone has gone missing, they will do this by helicopter,boats, cars/foot.
