It is prescribed burning season here in New Jersey, except we are getting a major winter storm as I write this which means that there will be no prescribed burns for awhile in many parts of the State. But prescribed burns are occurring in other parts of the United States. A wildland firefighter friend of mine shared a video with me on how prescribed burns are done in Florida State Parks, focusing on Hillsborough River State Park in Hillsborough County Florida, east of Tampa. See the image from Google Earth for the general location of this park.
The video, uploaded by Val H., is under seven minutes. The video focuses on how prescribed burns are done in Florida State Parks, specifically, Hillsborough River State Park. While the specifics of exactly how prescribed burns may differ from prescribed burns in your area, you will get an overview of how prescribed burns are done. Please take a few minutes to watch this video. Thank-you.
