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.”
Digital training opportunities in prescribed fire have become a valuable tool to enhance and maximize time spent learning in in-person, hands-on training.
Developed by the Tall Timbers Private Lands Prescribed Fire Initiative 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.
Tall Timbers’ Private Lands Prescribed Fire Initiative focuses on three pillars: prescribed fire implementation, public and private outreach and training that extends across Alabama, Florida and Georgia and beyond.
The course will be available from Tuesday, October 1st, through December 20th, 2024. It is free of charge and provides two Category 1 Continuing Education Credits.
