Prescribed Fire Complexity Rating System Guide and Worksheet

Establishes standards for evaluating the complexity of prescribed burns. The standards: Provide decision support that highlights the risk to values associated with prescribed fire implementation; identify the technical difficulty of managing the risk to values; inform the complexity rating determination of high, moderate, or low for a prescribed fire; identify prescribed fire plan elements that may pose special problems or concerns. The worksheet allows users to plug in information about a prescribed burn and see its expected complexity.
