Prescribed fire is one of the most important tools that land managers can use to promote healthy ecosystems and build safer, more resilient communities. A key component of safely conducting these fires is the effective management of the smoke they produce.
To better equip the fire community, Tall Timbers is pleased to announce the launch of a new online smoke management training course, “Be Smoke Savvy: Training Guide of Best Management Practices for Prescribed Fire Smoke.”
Developed by the Private Lands Fire Initiative Department with constructive input by partners, this two-hour online course will cover essential topics, including the importance of smoke management, various tactics and strategies, the appropriate use of smoke management tools, and a review of legal standards related to smoke management.
The course will be available from Monday, September 16th, through September 25th. It is free of charge and provides two Category 1 Continuing Education Credits.
To register for the course within the Timbers Fire Learning Portal, please click here: https://rxfirelearningportal.unhosting.site/course/view.php?id=35
