	Controlled burn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Florida, during the drought in 1998, catastrophic wildfires burned a number of homes.
		But forestry managers note that the real problem was that controlled burning had mostly ceased in the area, due to complaints by homeowners.
		Controlled burns are commonly ignited using a tool known as the driptorch, which allows a steady stream of flaming fuel to be directed to the ground as needed.

	Prescribed Fire
		Prescribed burning is highly recommended for wildlife habitat management where loblolly, shortleaf, longleaf, or slash pine is the primary overstory species.
		Burning techniques can be modified along roads and in other heavily used areas to ensure low flame heights, which in turn will reduce crown scorch and bark char while still opening up the stand and giving an unrestricted view.
		Prescribed burning, however, does not automatically help Perpetuate plant and animal species because fires are not necessarily conducted during the same season in which the site historically burned.

	Designing a Prescribed Fire Demonstration Area
		A prescribed fire demonstration area makes it much easier for local citizens to understand why natural areas are burned, how prescribed fires are managed, and how quickly the vegetation in a burned area regenerates (Figure 1).
		Prescribed fire may be the best way to maintain the natural system, but active management of fragmented fire-dependent ecosystems in suburban developments can also include mechanical and chemical methods.
		Knowledge levels and support for prescribed fire as a management tool were significantly higher for residents who saw the burns or their effects and for those who were exposed to the educational materials.

		Prescribed Fire is Not a "Pick Up Game": The public tends to perceive wildfire suppression as a classic, "heroic" endeavor to curb the vagaries of "mother nature".
