Pine Tree Forest: Controlled Burning 101

During a controlled burn in a pine forest, the establishment of a fire lane is pivotal for containing the fire within prescribed boundaries. Our team initiates the process by meticulously clearing trees and grass along the designated path, creating a substantial buffer zone. Then we till the soil to form a fire break, effectively impeding the fire's advancement beyond the designated area. It's important to note that all controlled burns necessitate a burn permit obtained from local authorities, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and minimizing risks in Suwannee County.
