A Prescribed Fire - Controlled Burn Walk-Through
A prescription burn is necessity in many coniferous stands. The controlled fire can protect trees from future fire, disease and insects. The same fire can prepare a seedbed for a future forest, improve the habitat for many wildlife species and manage competing vegetation.
A Prescribed and Controlled Burn - Equipment for Line Construction
Two tractors (both with electric water pumps) were used for the controlled burn. One was equipped with a disk and freshened the line before during and after fire was introduced.
A Prescribed and Controlled Burn - The Second Tractor
The second tractor had a larger pump and was used for mop-up. Operators of these tractors surveyed the lines until the black zone was deemed safe. Trees and brush piles inside the burn that were still on fire after the initial burn cleaned the understory were extinguished.
A Prescribed and Controlled Fire - The Drip Torch
Prescribed burns in the United States begin by dripping accelerant and fire from a backfire torch which burns off of a plowed firebreak. You want to burn off the firebreak to increase the distance between fire and line.
Containing the Controlled Fire Using a Fire Break
This firebreak (approximately 8' wide) forms the initial barrier of the controlled burn keeping fire contained only to the area of the burn. The prescriptionist tries to increase the black or burned zone to a point where a fire can't jump back across the line - not always an easy task
A Prescribed and Controlled Fire - Necessary for a Healthy Forest
A prescribed fire is necessity for many reasons. This controlled fire will protect trees from future fire, disease and insects. It will also improve conditions that make great wildlife habitat.
