There will be a prescribed fire workshop May 9th from 9am to 4pm at the Carl Simmons place, two miles north of Highway 12 on Hidden Timber Road. Nebraska fire partners will host a free workshop focused on basic prescribed fire skills and safety, plus hands-on learning with a live fire demonstration. No previous fire experience is required to attend.
The workshop will cover Ignition patterns, Wet lining and other holding techniques, how to communicate effectively using radios, what to expect before, during and after a burn and understanding and reading the fire environment. The workshop is weather dependent, of course. Please register in order to ensure you are kept up on current burn information. Again this is a free event, but to guarantee your meals, register with Ethan Osnes at 402-322-1430 or email ethan.osnes@tnc.org.
