Prescribed fire isn’t only for agencies.

Across Washington and the West, Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) and community-led burn groups are helping private landowners use fire safely and legally.

Examples and partners:

These efforts:

  • Provide training and mentorship
  • Help write burn plans
  • Share equipment and labor
  • Increase social acceptance of fire
  • Coordinate projects across agencies and ownership boundaries
