Naval fire support is coordinated by Forward Air Control (FAC) teams, which ensure accurate targeting and safety of friendly forces. These teams assess the battlefield situation and communicate with naval assets to direct fire effectively. The process involves careful planning and real-time adjustments to optimize the impact of naval gunfire while minimizing collateral damage. Ultimately, this coordination enhances the effectiveness of naval support in joint operations.

Controlled prairie fires are used for ecological reasons, such as promoting the growth of native plants, controlling invasive species, and reducing fuel buildup to prevent larger wildfires. They also help maintain the health and diversity of prairie ecosystems, as well as support wildlife habitats.
It reduces the likelihood of major forest fires.
The temperature in the Roman baths was controlled by underground fires. the heat would then come up through he floors and heat the water.
Conservationists may set controlled forest fires, known as prescribed burns, to mimic natural ecological processes such as clearing underbrush, promoting new growth, and reducing the risk of larger, more destructive wildfires. These controlled fires can help improve the health of the forest ecosystem and benefit certain plant and animal species.
Fuel-controlled fire occurs when there is limited airflow, causing the rate of combustion to be controlled by the availability of fuel. In this type of fire, the fire develops and spreads due to the flammable material being present in abundance. Managing the fuel source is critical in extinguishing fuel-controlled fires.
Controlled forest fires aka "controlled burns" are man made fires that are lit when a forest or area becomes overrun with either too much dead debris or begins to grow out of control of man, and possibly impedes whatever humans have going on in the area, or to make the fire happen on human terms where we can deal with it, and not endanger anyone EX. a controlled burn out in the Midwest or southeast to clear brush/debris allowing a new generation of pine trees to grow in place of all the old and dying ones.
Managing forest fires through controlled burns and fire prevention measures can help prevent damage to ecosystems and communities, reduce the risk of future catastrophic fires, and promote forest regeneration. Neglecting forest fire management can lead to more severe fires, loss of biodiversity, and increased risks to human lives and properties in the future.
Fires are typically fought using a combination of water, fire retardant chemicals, and controlled burns to contain and extinguish the flames. Firefighters may also create firebreaks to help prevent the fire from spreading. Additionally, sophisticated equipment such as helicopters and specialized vehicles are used to help combat fires in challenging terrain.
Controlled forest burns are used to reduce the risk of wildfires by removing accumulated vegetation that could fuel fires. They also help promote forest health by mimicking natural processes like rejuvenating the soil and improving habitat for certain plant and animal species. Additionally, controlled burns can be used to manage invasive species and encourage the growth of native vegetation.
One of the pros of combustion is that it helps in cooking and industrial processes. A disadvantage arises when the combustion cannot be controlled. Fires can lead to death.
One hunting tactic of the Teton Sioux was that they would set controlled fires to drive buffalo off of cliffs or into traps.
