Wildfire Solutions Demo: Observe | Test | Connect

We anticipate the prescribed fire burn window to be within the last week of September through the month of October. The dates listed on event registration are placeholders and will be changed to accurately reflect the burn window once notified by the National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis

All attendees will receive a 2 week notification/alert when a burn window has been identified. Due to weather and fuel conditions, the window could change to a few days before or after. Please remain flexible.

Spring (April, May) and Fall (end of September, October, early November). We are expecting a burn window to open within these fall months and will notify all registered participants and observers as soon as we're notified by the National Center for Landscape Analysis and Lubrecht Experimental Forest

Prescribed Fire (RX) is the strategic application of controlled burning to achieve specific natural resource management objectives (e.g. removal of understory vegetation.) To accomplish this objective, pre-determined fuel conditions and forecasted weather need to align prior to ignition.
