Different Types of Prescribed Fire

  • Broadcast burns which intentionally apply low-intensity fire across a large, predetermined area of land, mimicking natural fire patterns.
  • Pile burning, which is the intentional burning of concentrated piles of collected vegetation or “slash” from thinning wooded areas.
  • Burning with a “curtain burner,” that uses a powerful fan to blow a high-speed curtain of air across a fire, trapping smoke and sparks and creating a clean-burning, efficient combustion of wood and brush.
