Prescribed fire should always be done with a specific goal in mind. It should be looked at as another tool in your tool box that can be pulled out and used to accomplish a specific purpose. Can you identify some of the goals mentioned in this video?
\nPrescribed fire is a tool that when not used under the right conditions can cause a lot more damage and harm to your resources than not. An example would be: burning way to hot and damaging or destroying timber, or fire that escapes your control and damages your neighbors property.
\nNotice the short flame length and slow progress of this fire. The speed, and intensity of this fire is a result of the proper conditions we chose to burn under. See the discussion about preparation ahead of time here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
