PRESCRIBED FIRE AWARENESS WEEKFire is both friend and foe for those of us working in the field of forestry. With Prescribed Fire Awareness Week taking place during the first week in February, the January/February issue is centered on issues concerning both prescribed burning and wildfire.
Fire is an extremely important tool for many landowners but it can also be the cause of heartache and disaster. Topics in this issue range from prescribed burning and the Federal Clean Air Act (pg. 20) to fire fighting tips using drip torches (pg. 12) to a historical look at the great Okefenokee fire of 1954-1955 (pg. 43).
