Show areas that should be excluded or protected such as improvements, young reproduction, sawdust piles, etc. Burning unit map Subdivide each area to be burned into logical, 1-day burning blocks, or smaller areas if smoke management needs dictate Equipment and Personnel List equipment and personnel needed on site and on standby. The amount of fuel, weather conditions and desired intensity of the burn will determine the firing technique and ignition pattern to use. Species involved and height of overstory will determine the maximum intensity that can be tolerated. Where large amounts of fuel are present, cooler burns can be accomplished by burning when humidity and fuel moisture are near the high end of the range so a smaller fraction of the fuel will burn.
Lower temperatures are desirable with more intense fires, especially when understory fuels are tall.
They are based on a specific set of fuel data and prescribed weather conditions. You can use them in the field to make instant decisions as burning conditions change. Always think about smoke management. Make sure your burning plan passes a smoke management system. Season Winter - Most understory burning is done during the winter dormant season.
