Webinar Description: Prescribed burners can efficiently utilize the EPA Fire and Smoke Map to enhance their burning practices. The map provides real-time information on fire and smoke conditions across different regions. Burners can use it to assess the current air quality and regional smoke movement. By incorporating this information, prescribed burners can strategically plan and time their burns to minimize the impact on air quality and public health. The map allows them to make informed decisions, ensuring safer and more effective prescribed burns while supporting compliance with environmental regulations. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers.
