Prescribed Fires Ensuring the health of our wildlands

onger fire seasons are being noted across the nation and in Idaho the fire season is now Lapproximately one month longer compared to the 1980’s. With low snow packs this winter, the need for reducing fuel is heightened, particularly in the wildland urban interface. On average the Boise National Forest has 114 wildfires burning nearly 75,000 acres every year. The combined agencies in Southwest Idaho reduce fuel through prescribed burning and mechanical means on an average of over 50,000 acres with the majority of that in the wildland urban interface. Public land managers annually use prescribed fire and mechanical clearing to reduce large wildfire severity, improve wildlife habitat, Continued prescribed burning helps to maintain low fuel densities and and achieve natural resource creates an open forest envioronment. objectives.

However, inherent Prescribed fires on federal lands must comply with challenges can prevent land managers from igniting the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which prescribed fires on as many acres each year as they requires extensive analysis of the environmental, believe are necessary.

Fire Ecology: Burning on our terms ince the beginning of time, fires have burned in forests and rangelands, Splaying a vital ecological role in keeping the land healthy. Fire reduces dead vegetation, replenishes nutrients in the soil, stimulates new growth, and maintains biological diversity. As civilization moved deeper into the forest and range, fire came to be seen as an enemy that destroyed lives, property, and natural resources. We began a campaign to exclude fire from our environment, and were mostly successful for many decades. Over time, it became apparent that our success had many unforeseen consequences. Without fire, our forests became overcrowded and vulnerable to attacks by insects and disease. Heavy buildups A prescribed fire is the most practical way to reduce dangerous accumulations of dead vegetation accumulated. of combustible forest fuels. Wildfires that burn into areas where fuels were re- Our forests and rangelands were duced by prescribed burning cause less damage and are much easier to control. invaded by plants, bushes, and trees not adapted to fire. These ecological changes put our forests and rangelands at risk, paradoxically, for the very conditions we sought to exclude unusually large, severe wildland “In order to restore fires. fire to its natural Today, we know that fire is essential to the health of our forests and rangelands. Since conditions in many areas are conducive to large, severe role in forests and wildland fires, and because so many people now live in or near forests and rangelands, we need fires to burn in a more controlled way than is usually rangeland, we ignite possible when they are caused by naturally occurring events such as lightning strikes. In order to restore fire to its natural role in forests and rangeland, we prescribed fires in the ignite prescribed fires in the spring and fall when weather conditions allow for slow, lower intensity burning. spring and fall when Forests and rangeland need fire, and they will burn. By igniting prescribed weather conditions fires, we can maximize the chance that they will burn on our terms with acceptable effects. allow for slow, lower Or, we can wait until they burn on their own terms, with less control over the effects. The choice is ours. intensity burning.” 3

Introduction

Prescribed Fire and Air Quality

hile prescribed fires have proven to be very successful in creating the conditions necessary for healthy forests and rangelands, there is a Wtroublesome side effect of smoke. To minimize the impacts of smoke, land managers work closely with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in both planning and implementing prescribed fires.

To ensure that air quality meets federal and state standards and to lessen impacts from smoke while prescribed fires the Clean Air Act and revisions. As part of statewide are being conducted, federal and state public land managers emergency practices, DEQ can restrict open burning, and regulatory agencies in Idaho and Montana have formed including prescribed fire when PM levels are reached and a partnership, known as the “Montana/Idaho State Airshed likely to persist. The emergency practices are designed Group.” Before prescribed fires are ignited, public land to protect the health and safety of the public, especially managers in Idaho and Montana submit their plans to the sensitive people that are likely to be affected by higher Montana/Idaho State Airshed Group Monitoring Unit, concentrations of PM. based in Missoula, Montana. The monitoring unit reviews To ensure smoke dispersion during prescribed fires, land existing air quality levels along with weather conditions managers monitor atmospheric conditions closely before to determine which prescribed fires can be ignited and prescribed fires are ignited. Factors evaluated include air which, if any, must be delayed to ensure that air quality movement, wind direction and speed, atmospheric stability, meets federal and state standards. If air quality approaches and long-range weather forecasts. Yet even in favorable unhealthy levels, public land managers delay igniting conditions, the air will still become smoky. Often, although prescribed fires.

Hazardous Fuel Reduction Using Mechanical and Fire Treatments Together Near Communities at Risk

ocal public land managers are working diligently to manage fuels Lwithin fire-adapted ecosystems. This effort is an integral strategy to reduce the occurrence of uncharacteristic wildfires and reduce the threat of wildfire in the wildland urban interface. With increased emphasis to protect wildland urban interface areas managers are using mechanical treatment methods in combination with prescribed fire.

For several years, land managers primarily used management-ignited fires or prescribed burns in areas where vegetative conditions and fuel loading allowed successful and efficient use of fire. Prescribed fire is used to begin the restoration process in fire adopted ecosystems. A mechanical thinned site in Boise These low intensity burns are used to maintain desired vegetative County. The goal of thinning is to create conditions and reduce fuel buildup. open space between the remaining trees to reduce the potential of a crown fire. Prescribed fire alone as the first treatment is not always feasible because of the current density of the vegetation and fuel loading. Dense vegetation near the forest floor and extending up to the crowns of trees predisposes some areas to severe wildland fires, potentially leaving watersheds, species, and people at risk.

Thickets of small understory trees fill a site and treatment often requires a combination of initial mechanical work followed by prescribed fire to safely or effectively use fire.

Both prescribed fire and mechanical methods are being integrated to change fire behavior, making it safer for the public and firefighters when homes must be protected in the wildland urban interface.

Firewise is a national program for use by communities to reduce wildfire threats. It provides tools and techniques for citizens to use either on an individual basis or by the community as a whole.
