113,000 authorizations al-
lowing people and agen-
cies to prescribe burn
their land.
 People use prescribed
fire to reduce hazardous
fuel buildups, thus pro-
viding increased protec-
tion to th6ir homes, their
neighbors and the forest.
Other benefits include
disease control in young
pines, improving habitat
for wildlife, site prepara-
tion, timber manage-
ment, aesthetics, preser-
vation of endangered
plant and animal species
and the maintenance of
fire dependent ecosys-
tems.


. Prescribed fire in Flori-
da is a very important
and valuable land man-
agement tool. The Divi-
sion has developed two
programs to aid pre-
scribed burners. The first
is the smoke screening
tool that allows persons
planning their prescribed
burns to plot the bur on
a map and see where the
smoke from the burn is
going to go and if it will
impact anywhere that
has been designated as a
"smoke sensitive area."
The second is the live fuel
moisture readings that
can help prescribed burn-
ers in their fire behavior
predictions and thus bet-
ter plan their burns.
