a) A fire burning under specified conditions that will accomplish certain planned objectives. The fire may result from planned or unplanned ignitions. ( FEMAT, IX-27) b) Fire set intentionally in wild-land fuels under prescribed conditions and circumstances. Prescribed fire can rejuvenate forage for livestock and wildlife or prepare sites for natural regeneration of trees. ( FS People's Glossary of Eco Mgmt Terms)
