One of the problems within ecosystems is fire, which is a commonly recognized component of ecosystem disturbance regime. In the grassland ecosystem, such disturbances as fire and grazing or range management to some extent positively influence the productivity and plant diversity of the grassland ecosystem. But every year, as a result of last year’s grass burning, people die; residential and household buildings are burnt down causing several tens or even hundreds of thousands of euros material loss. The problem of grass burning requires intense work for several years. The main aim of the paper is to create medium term solution for grass fire prevention and propose an action plan to reduce possible fire-extinguishing costs. Research is based on traditional economic science methods, such as analysis and synthesis, monograph method and practical experience of Latvian fire protection services. As main result of the paper, the authors elaborated proposals for plan of action for reducing the number of grass fires. Implementation of prepared recommendations gives a premise to ensure reduction of fire protection costs and ensure effective natural resource management.
