Prescribed Fire Planning & Preparation
Prescribed fire is a powerful tool for renewing both timber and prairie in the Upper Midwest. In a fragmented, highly developed landscape such as Iowa, that tool carries risk to match the rewards.
I focus on careful plan writing and mapping before any fire is lit. That means walking the site with you, studying slopes, fuels, access, and neighboring properties, then creating clear maps and written plans that outline burn units, control lines, ideal weather conditions, smoke considerations, and contingency steps.
Beyond the paperwork, I help ensure all on-site prep is completed correctly, from clearing containment lines to identifying safe access points for crew and equipment. A successful burn relies on this meticulous groundwork, ensuring that every element of the fire prescription is met safely and effectively.
I can't drop the match, but I can make sure empower landowners to make sure burn day goes as smoothly as possible.Â
