Prescribed Fire
         
  Using Prescribed Fire      
   
  Fire can be used to remove slash and debris but must be used safely.  
     
  Keep slash pile free from dirt and other debris. This pile will burn cleanly and leave little residue.   The slash in the foreground is poorly piled and the dirt included in this pile will prevent a clean burn.  
     
  Slash can be safely burned when snow prevents
a fire from spreading.		   Fire can also be used to remove excessive slash
which is widely scattered. This area might be a
candidate for a broadcast burn.
