The fire stopped.

Experts have been looking at how certain types of landscapes, including vineyards, can help slow or even partly stop runaway forest fires.

As fires like that have been getting more intense and catastrophic, researchers in Europe are promoting the idea that vineyards, as well as truffle farms and apiaries, aka beehives, can play a role in making places more fire-resilient.

With grapes, for example, there's space between the rows, meaning fire has to jump to continue.

And with truffle and honey operations, farmers are managing forested areas that would otherwise grow wild, potentially becoming tinderboxes.

A researcher who works with vineyards and other farms that adopt best practices for fire management told the Times, quote, We are not only producing wine, we are producing security.
