What does CALFIRE stand for?

The correct answer is the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. This agency is responsible for managing California's vast forested lands and ensuring fire safety and prevention. It combines fire protection services with forestry management, which includes responding to wildfires, maintaining fire roads, conducting prescribed burns, and managing vegetation to reduce fire hazards. This dual focus on both forestry and fire response is crucial for protecting both natural resources and communities in California, which is prone to wildfires due to its climate and vegetation.
