Hammond Gap 60 acres - 5 miles WNW of Trion
Narrows 40 acres - 5 miles W of Trion
Storey Mill 97 acres - 5 miles SE of Summerville

Several burn units include longleaf pine plantings that are several years old, which require periodic burning. The controlled burns will occur on the Armuchee unit, which resides in the Ridge and Valley Landscape. This low-lying region is characterized by a series of narrow, steep ridges separated by wide, flat valleys. Its diverse habitats contain many unique species of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna, including mountain longleaf pine.

Laurel, Maryland, April 5, 2012: Fire consumes small Virginia pines in the understory to create open conditions under a mature oak/pine forest. The burn was done at Patuxent Research Refuge's Savannah Restoration Unit to increase refuge species and habitat diversity. Specifically, the refuge hoped to increase density and diversity of rare darkling beetles and forest floor plants. Credit: Sandy Spencer/USFWS.

One day we drove to Glacier Point. There was a controlled fire along the way that made everything hazy but when the fire came down to the road it was dramatic for us all.

KAHUKU, Hawaii — U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii wildland firefighters performed a controlled burn over 11 acres of dry brush, Sept. 13, at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge, on North Oahu. A controlled burn is when a fire is intentionally set for forest management, farming and land restoration. In some cases, a prescribed burn can minimize damage from possible future wildfires. In this case, the burn is intended to renew the nesting grounds for endangered native Hawaiian wetland birds. Firefighters stayed after the blaze was extinguished to ensure that there were no remaining hotspots on the refuge.

A #ControlledBurn will be conducted today on the Oconee Ranger District in compartment 189 and 190 approximately 4 miles Northwest of Greensboro, Ga. The #PrescribedFire will cover 286 acres to improve wildlife habitat and reduce hazardous fuels (leaf litter, woody debris). The #GoodFire operation by the U.S. Forest Service will be assisted by the Georgia Forestry Commission and the Jacob Creek Job Corps Center. Sign up for #BurnAlerts on our website at www.fs.usda.gov/conf or follow us on social media, @ChattOconeeNF.
Fire Information & Burn Maps: bit.ly/FireManagementProgram
Benefits of Prescribed Fire:
- Maintains healthy forests
- Mitigates wildfire risks
- Maintains quality wildlife habitat of both game and nongame species
- Improves stand access and aesthetics
- Prepares sites for both natural and artificial reforestation
- Controls tree diseases
- Controls insects
- Effectively manages fuels in the Wildland Urban Interface
- Perpetuates fire dependent ecosystems and associated species
Controlled burns are used as part of a natural area management program to restore High Park's Black Oak Savannah. Toronto's rare Black Oak savannah contains prairie plants that grow more vigorously after a fire. The fire preserves and reveals.

A controlled burn on the west side of FL-285 near Speck Pond in the Eglin Reservation, Florida.
From the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission web page:
Eglin AFB covers 464,000 acres in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties. An Eglin permit is required to access the 250,000 acres of the Eglin reservation conditionally open to public recreation. Outdoor recreation permits and a comprehensive map and regulation summary are available from the Natural Resources Branch office (commonly known as Jackson Guard) located at 107 Hwy 85 North, in Niceville. All or portions of the Eglin reservation are subject to closure during military testing/training operations. If wanting to bring a dog onto the area, check with the Natural Resources Branch office.
In addition to meeting permit requirements, all individuals are required to review the Public Access Map (PAM) located on the Eglin Force Support Squadron website prior to entering the Eglin AFB reservation for recreational purposes. The PAM is a graphical representation of daily or short term public access restrictions in support of military operations. Compliance with this instruction is mandatory. Increased scope and complexity of military operations is requiring more frequent short term, or daily closures. Jackson Guard has developed the PAM to inform the public via the internet of short term closure of otherwise open recreational areas. The PAM is based on the newly created alpha numeric Tactical Training Area (TTA) grid and graphically displays the current day's closure information and provides a 3-day forecast. The PAM is automatically updated daily at 5 p.m. The PAM is intended for recreational access planning purposes and is subject to change. Gates, barricades and/or range personnel will prohibit access in the event unscheduled missions require immediate closure of public accessible areas. Individuals found to be in violation of this guidance are subject to Eglin outdoor recreation privilege suspension.
Eglin has many outstanding natural features and bountiful outdoor recreational opportunities. Popular activities include: excellent deer, turkey and feral hog hunting; mobility impaired and youth Special Opportunity Hunts; fishing Eglin's 21 ponds; primitive camping; canoeing scenic waters; mountain biking in the Timberlake Recreation Area; and hiking the Florida National Scenic Trail. Eglin AFB is also home to more than 106 rare or listed plant species and animal species, 63 of which are considered globally rare. Included in this list is the threatened Okaloosa darter, which is found in only six creek systems in the central portion of the air force base.
Eglin has the largest contiguous acreage of old-growth longleaf pine in the world and the fourth largest red-cockaded woodpecker population. This area is a site on the Great Florida Birding Trail offering both inland and barrier island birding opportunities. The Anderson Pond Recreation Area is open to the public year-round. Just off Highway 85, 3 miles north of Niceville, this area has an elevated boardwalk, a picnic shelter, a pier, and camping area. All the facilities are handicapped accessible.
A controlled burn was used around Lake Ladora to reduce cattails and remove other noxious weeds. The burn was also used to improve wildlife habitat.
I love to look at flames. Photos capture shapes and forms that even the imagination can barely rival. Could these be the spirits of the dead grass playing last pranks?
Today we burned about 15 acres to get it ready for planting. Ian will spray herbicide to surpress the non-native grasses and for the next three years he will plant crops. After all the non-native grasses are eradicated we will plant native flowers and grasses. This will serve as a refuge for wildlife and a cash crop for grass and flower seeds. This type of burning is called controlled burning.
Flames glow due to the radiation of color from superheated carbon. Same priciple as the superheated filiment in a light bulb or a "red" hot nail. As objects get hotter they radiate higher energy light and so the colors proceed through the spectrum of ROY G BIV. Once all colors are generated we have "White Hot."
This is what is referred to as black body radiation and is one of many ways that colorful light finds its way to us.

Mashpee, Massachusetts, April 5, 2012. A controlled burn burns in pitch pines at the Town of Mashpee Holland Hill Barrens area of Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge. The burn cleared overgrown brush under fire-resistant pitch pine trees, which will reduce fire risk to neighboring homes. It will also stimulate growth of oak stems, important for the rare New England cottontail. The burn was conducted by the Town of Mashpee, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Northeast Forest and Fire Management.

Prescribed fire is used to reduce fuel accumulation and benefit native plants.
Applegate Valley, Jackson County, Oregon
Mashpee, Massachusetts, April 5, 2012. Fire once naturally cleared brush in pine barrens on Cape Cod. Here, a controlled burn on the Town of Mashpee Holland Hill Barrens area of Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge clears overgrown brush under fire-resistant pitch pine trees. This reduces fire risk to neighboring homes and stimulates growth of oak stems, important for the rare New England cottontail.
