Why We Use Prescribed Fire

Decades of wildfire exclusion and continued development have disrupted natural fire cycles across Utah’s landscapes. The result is an unnatural buildup of vegetation that increases the intensity and risk of uncontrolled wildfire.

Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools we have to safely reduce excess fuels, restore ecological balance, and protect nearby communities — when planned and executed correctly.

Step 1: Site Evaluation & Objectives

We assess fuels, topography, access, and surrounding values to determine whether prescribed fire is appropriate — and what success looks like for your land.

Step 2: Burn Planning & Permitting

We develop a detailed burn plan outlining ignition methods, weather parameters, smoke management, and contingency actions. All required permits and approvals are obtained prior to ignition.

Step 3: Implementation

Our trained crew conducts the burn under carefully monitored conditions, maintaining control from ignition through completion.

Step 4: Mop-Up & Monitoring

We ensure the site is fully secured and continue monitoring to confirm objectives were met safely.

Step 5: Documentation & Rehabilitation

Post-burn documentation and fire effects monitoring help guide future management and ensure compliance with land management standards.
