Prescribed Burn

Every property is unique. We tailor burn plans to your goals, vegetation and timing.​

Prescribed fire is a safe, proven and cost-effective tool for land stewardship.

Here’s exactly how we bring it to life on your property.

​

Overview:

1. Inquiry & Site Info → quick questionnaire.

2. On-Site Assessment → fuels, topography, neighbors, smoke screening.

3. Plan & Prep → fire breaks/lines, equipment staging, crew briefing.

4. Ignition & Holding → day-of operations with real-time weather monitoring.

5. Mop-up & Review → secure edges, confirm out, post-burn report & photos.

Our Prescribed Burning Process:

(From first conversation to final ember)

​

1. Initial Contact & Consultation

• You reach out to us via our Contact Form or phone.

• We discuss your goals (wildlife habitat improvement, fuel reduction, understory improvement, etc.) and review your property’s location and size.

• We answer any initial questions and explain how prescribed fire can benefit your land.

2. Site Visit & Evaluation

• We walk your property to assess:

  • Vegetation type & fuel load

  • Existing firebreaks or access points

  • Nearby structures, roads and sensitive areas

• We take notes, photos and GPS points to create your custom burn plan.

3. Burn Plan Development

• We design a site-specific burn plan that follows Georgia Prescribed Burning Act guidelines.

• Plan includes:

  • Burn unit map

  • Desired weather conditions

  • Ignition pattern

  • Smoke management strategy

  • Crew & equipment needs

• You review and approve the plan before we move forward.

4. Firebreak Preparation

• If needed, we install or clear firebreaks to ensure safe containment.

• This may include mowing, raking, disking or dozer work.

• Existing roads or trails may be used to reduce cost and impact.

5. Permitting & Notifications

• We secure your burn permit from the Georgia Forestry Commission.

• We notify neighbors, local authorities and any relevant agencies.

6. Burn Day Operations

• We arrive on site with a trained crew, water units, ignition tools and safety gear.

• Safety briefing for all personnel.

• Controlled ignition begins under approved weather conditions.

• Fire is carefully monitored and directed to achieve the desired results.

7. Mop-Up & Monitoring

• We extinguish any remaining hot spots along firebreaks.

• We patrol the burn unit until it’s fully secured.

• In some cases, we return the next day to re-check the site.

8. Post-Burn Follow-Up

• We provide a post-burn report with photos, acreage burned and weather data.

• We discuss what to expect as your land responds to fire in the coming weeks and months.

• Optional: We schedule future burns or habitat management recommendations.
