This material will help you make decisions about managing smoke from prescribed fires. Many states have either voluntary or mandatory smoke management guidelines that should be followed when planning a prescribed burn. Your local state forestry office may be able to advise you about recommended or required procedures. If you are burning in a state that has not issued guidelines, the information here can be used as a starting point for developing a smoke management plan suitable for your situation.
Smoke management is an area of intensive research and developing regulations. Federal land management agencies have allocated considerable resources to refine existing tools and develop new ones. New information, tools and other products will be posted here as they become available.
