Murphysboro Drainage Prescribed Burn |
| Prescribed burning is done on
large and small scales, in the wild or in the
city. Long Forestry was hired in April to
burn a large drainage in Murphysboro, Illinois
that is full of honeysuckle and briar. Our
Aunt Mel was in town for this burn and she came
out to help Mike safely complete the project. |
Mike lays
down some fire while Aunt Mel watches the line
with the backpack sprayer. |

property. |

The fire
burns in close proximity to homes, apartments,
and fences. It is crucial to have the
knowledge and ability to maintain
complete control of this burn. |
