The BLM also supervises 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The planned burn is part of their efforts to manage and sustain the lands under their care. Prescribed burns are a common tool used by land management agencies to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, improve wildlife habitat, and restore and maintain ecosystems.

Details about the exact date and specific location of the planned burn on Transfer Road have not been provided in the announcement. However, such operations are typically carefully planned and executed to minimize potential risks and maximize benefits to the land and surrounding communities. The public is usually advised of the operation in advance to ensure safety.
