If you are going to use fire as a wildlife management tool, one of the most important factors is that you don't burn your neighbors land and do not burn down your house.

To avoid both of these, understanding the behavior of fire is helpful.

Several factors that determine a fire’s intensity are fuel quantity and continuity, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, soil moisture and
direction of the flame front movement relative to the wind. Generally, the intensity of a fire increases with greater quantity and continuity of fuel, higher temperature and wind speed and lower humidity and soil moisture.

A fire set to move in the same direction as the wind (headfire) tends to be more intense than a flame moving against the wind (backfire). Controlling the fire’s intensity through correct firing techniques under appropriate conditions is a key factor in achieving the desired responses from a prescribed burn.

Looks like a good burn. I miss doing controlled burns on the golf couse native areas we had.
