Fire is a natural occurrence in nature and is essential to maintaining a healthy balance in our forests and grass lands.

Prescribed Fire for Ecological balance
Rx Fire is necessary to a variety of fire dependant plant species and Titan Wildfire Resources can provide the safe and effective techniques to help you achieve your management goals. Prescribed Fire can greatly aid in planting preparation, ground preparation and regeneration of species. In addition, fire is a natural way to eliminate Noxious Weeds or Unwanted Invasive Species.
Prescribed Fire for Wildlife Management
Prescribed burning is the controlled use of fire to (1) set back existing vegetation, (2) remove thatch build up, (3) control invasion of woody species, and (4) stimulate the growth of more desirable species. From a wildlife management perspective, especially for small game and grassland songbirds, prescribed burning is an excellent habitat management technique. However, prescribed burning is not without its complications and should be conducted by an experienced prescribed burn manager with the utmost care and planning.
A few important considerations when burning for wildlife.
•Rather than burning one large area, divide the area into sections and burn 1/3 of the sections each year. This system will create more diverse habitat for wildlife, and prescribe burning tends to be more manageable on smaller blocks.
•Generally, burning every 3 years is best for establishing and maintaining fields with sufficient annual and perennial grasses, forbs, and weeds for quail. However, if you desire to maintain the field in a slightly older condition (i.e., more woody vines and small trees), burning could be conducted every 5 to 7 years.
•Construct fire line in the fall that way they can be cleared easily of any debris just prior to burning.
•Fire lines constructed around the perimeter of the area to be burned or around areas within a field that you don't wish to burn can be seeded with a beneficial wildlife mixture. To reduce soil erosion over winter fire lines can be seeded with a small grain. Austrian winter pea and crimson clover also work well in combination with the small grain or as a single planting. In spring, Korean lespedeza and partridge pea can also be planted over the small grain.
