Fire line management and mop up

This is a hands-on operational training to provide landowners with exposure to the skills to responsibly implement a prescribed burn from start to finish on private property. This workshop builds on last year’s classroom session, which introduced participants to the planning process of prescribed burning as a management tool. Attendance at last year’s workshop is not a requirement to join this workshop.

Participant groups will be paired with an experienced firefighter and embedded in the process for hands-on experience and Q&A.

You will learn how to:

• Construct fire lines

• Use a drip torch

• Appropriately apply the resources most ranches have on hand (e.g. UTVs, water tanks, etc.)

• Manage risk

• Scout, ignite, mop up, and patrol burn units

• Learn fire fighting tactics.
