<p>JEROME A. POLLOS/Press Caleb Wells, with Hester Forest Management, trims pine trees Thursday in an overgrown area of Cherry Hill Park in Coeur d'Alene. Crews were working under a FireSmart program to reduce wildfire fuels that include the removal of small trees, space out the tree crowns, pruning lower branches of the residual trees to keep fire out of the tree canopies, and removal of most brush that is over one foot in height.</p>
