DAY OF THE PRESCRIBED BURN
The final step that prescribed burn managers take before putting fire on the ground is the Go/No-go checklist. This checklists acts as a record that the person responsible for the burn has conducted all the necessary steps and that the treatment will be implemented within the planned prescription. The tabs below provide links to assist prescribed burn managers verifying they have made all the proper notifications, checked weather and vegetation parameters, and have the needed equipment and people in place.
