The Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council will host a roundtable discussion
titled "How low can you go? Making the Go/No-Go decision in low humidity
conditions" on Monday, July 13, from 10:00 until noon, at the
UW-Arboretum McKay Visitor Center.

Last year spring burn conditions were extremely wet, with numerous burns
either postponed or finally, left unburned. This year spring burn
conditions were almost the opposite: beautiful spring weather, but
several days with relative humidity in the extremely low range, less
than 25% and as low as 12% on some days. The discussion will focus on
making the decision whether or not to burn when everything seems to
point towards lighting the match, except that the relative humidity is
low or going to become low as the day advances.

The discussion is free and open to the public, burners, landowners,
contractors, anyone with an interest in this issue.

The Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council Board of Directors will meet at
the same location after lunch. All are welcome to attend.

Thanks,

Dennis Presser, Chair
Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council
