Prescribed fire is a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk. Fire plays a significant role in the environment. Prescribed fire, also referred to prescribed burn or controlled burn, is fire applied in a competent manner by a team of fire experts under specified weather conditions to help restore health to ecosystems that depend on fire. Prescribed fire reduces the likelihood of wildfires and is a cost-effective tool that land managers use to restore our natural plant and wildlife communities.
Notes
In this presentation, a Wildland firefighter from Wekiwa Springs State Park will bring common tools such as drip torches, Nomex, fire line tools, chainsaw, and more. They will explore what a typical prescribed burn can look like and you will see photos and footage of actual fires in a variety of Florida State Parks.
