Prescribed Burning

Prescribed burning is the deliberate use of fire under specified and controlled conditions that accomplishes many important ecological functions. Some of the benefits of performing prescribed burn techniques include: reduction of hazardous fuels, invasive species control, restoration and improvement of natural forest conditions, promotion of seed germination and flowering, and improved wildlife habitat.

Prescribed burning is a cost-effective alternative and is extremely effective when compared to chemical and mechanical techniques. Chemical and mechanical techniques can become very expensive and have associated environmental risks. Prescribed burning can be done with less risk to the environment and is less destructive to the restoration site.

Prescribed burning is very complex and can cause significant damage if not performed by certified personnel. EC3 uses only the most highly qualified and experienced burn personnel to perform burn prescriptions. EC3 will ensure a proper diagnosis is executed and a detailed plan is in place before a burn prescription is implemented.
