The Heart of Rx Fire

Effective use of controlled fire begins and ends with professionals, on every level. But in the field, on the line - that's where planning, coordination, and experience are really put to the test.

In keeping with priorities set by recent Prescribed Fire Council conferences, and to support the collaborative focus of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, the Council has convened a work group focused specifically on training, certification and information exchange for individuals, teams and fire bosses.

Washington Prescribed Burn Associations

Prescribed fire is an important tool for forest restoration and wildfire risk reduction, but it has been largely unavailable to small, private landowners. That’s where Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) come in. To implement prescribed fire safely and effectively, PBAs connect landowners, community members, and other interested local stakeholders and provide them with needed support, resources, and training. Learn more about WA PBAs and find links to individual PBAs HERE.
