It is important to follow a few guidelines ensure safety during prescribed/controlled burns.

• Relative humidity should be above 40 percent.

• Wind speeds should be below 12 miles per hour.

• Consider possible sensitive areas downwind (hospitals, neighborhoods) in case smoke might be carried in those directions.

• Make sure there are no major wind direction shifts expected during the course of the  burn. A steady wind direction helps keep the main fire moving in the same direction.

• Disc a 10-foot buffer around your burn area. It contains the fire and gives it a boundary.
