The Wildland Fire Leadership Council (WFLC), and its member agencies and organizations partnered with the EPA, CDC, and Coalition of Prescribed Fire Councils to publish the “Joint Vision and Key Messages describing the Relative Benefits of Prescribed Fire to Wildland Fire.” 

This document is the result of collaborative work designed to provide a joint vision and associated messaging on the relative benefits of prescribed fire to wildland fire. The key messages address the known challenges and issues related to smoke and prescribed fire. As more data, research and science becomes available, each organization will filter through their process and additional key vetted messages will be considered for updating this document. 

Please use these messages in any of your communications or documents about prescribed fire, as multiple organizations using the same type of messages helps create better awareness and understanding amongst targeted audiences.
