Missouri PBA Spotfire Suppression Training
Saturday April 20, 9:00am-4:00pm near Collins, MO.
What to expect
When prescribed fire is planned and conducted responsibly, the chance of fire getting outside the designated burn unit (spotfire) is low, however, the chance is still present. In this training we will start off discussing the aspects of planning, preparing, and implementing prescribed burns that reduce the chance of spotfires. We will then take to the field in the to demonstrate the response to fire outside the burn unit and use prescribed burn equipment to suppress and extinguish the fire. Participants will have the opportunity to work with a crew to gain hands-on experience. The field exercise will be in a prepared and controlled location with participant and public safety the utmost priority. We'll wrap the day up with lighting the rest of the unused area up as a prescribed burn so there will be opportunity to experience that as well.
In the event of poor weather conditions
This will be a live fire event so weather may cause us to reschedule. If we postpone, you will be notified by email on Friday April 19 at noon.
