Need to Burn Debris?

Throughout history, fire has been both a servant and an enemy of man. When under man’s control it provides light and heat, cooks food, and eliminates unwanted debris. Out of control, fire can damage or destroy valuable resources: forests needed for wood and fiber production; wildlife, its habitat and food sources; watersheds that produce high-quality water; soils; forage for domestic livestock; scenic beauty; man’s improvements to the land such as fences, outbuildings, homes, etc.; and sometimes human life itself.
