Matt and Jake did an excellent job.
Now if I can get someone on site to put in a steep fire break, we'll do it again

For those who are experienced in growing season burns, what are the conditions that make burning pine stands this time of year productive and not destructive? I have experience with with early season burning and I avoid the combination of high winds and low RH.
Growing season fire is much easier to contain and control. RH values are much higher than dormant season, there’s more green foliage, typically less wind, and it’s hard to believe but the duff layer retains moisture longer because of higher RH, shade and low winds. Hardwoods drainages and slopes will hardly burn this time of year if at all. Due to the higher RH values and foliage flame intensity is typically less, so even with higher temps, it doesn’t necessarily equal hotter fire. I love burning now. Typically get a completely different plant response than burning January thru March, and it’s safer.

What about using fuel models to predict the fire behavior?

Just an FYI........ I took the class last summer to get recertified as a burn manager and the whole class is taught around fuel models....I didnt remember talking about it much back in school but the methods that were taught in last year's burn class made a lot of sense and seemed like it took a lot of the guess work out of predicting what was going to happen once the fire was lit. I was just messing with you a little bit when I asked the question.......

Here are a few pictures from some of our growing season burns. One thing you have to remember once everything has greened up is that there will be a lot of smoke. We burned a few miles south of Troy for a couple days and there was a huge smoke plume that could be seen from 231. It didn't have any impact on anyone but it turns a lot more heads with a thick plume and people not seeing a lot of smoke this time of year. Late May June June Late May burn-picture from last week
