Fire trail
A fire trail is a rural road built specifically for the purpose of access for "fire management purposes" including building containment lines and backburning operations.
The term is part of the vocabulary of Australian bushfire control and may be also known as a fireroad in US terminology. A fire trail may act as part of a control line or fire break but a fire trail in itself does not constitute a fire break.
Due to fire trails providing access to otherwise remote areas, possible adverse effects include: illegal activities, erosion, noise pollution, weed invasion, and possibly stuck vehicles.
Since fire trails are unpaved roads, contour banks are essential to control erosion and track degradation.
