Burn maintenance, Iowa City

One morning as I walked through City Park on a teleconference, I came across workers running a large controlled burn, clearly conducting some sort of brute force vegetation maintenance.  The area they were burning is the flood zone of the park, where the river is invited to rise so as to spare built up areas downstream, so I am guessing this is part of the regular maintenance of this pseudo-wetland area.
