What is a fire regime?? And why do we care about them?

Fire regimes are the historic pattern of fire--a description of the frequency, seasonality, severity, intensity, fire type, size and pattern.

Online Tools for Prescribed Fire:
Simple Smoke Screening Tool

Visualize smoke dispersion
Avoid towns or dispersion roadways

Step 1: Click Map for Location Information
- Select burn unit by clicking on the map
Step 2: Input Burn Unit, Fire, & Fuel Information
- Size
- Fuel Type
- Ignition Method
- Wind Direction & Smoke Path

Step 3: See Predicted Smoke Dispersion
- highest smoke impact zone
- low to moderate smoke impact zone
