Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) are community-led organizations that share knowledge, labor, and equipment to safely use prescribed fire.

​

Below you’ll find a listing of existing PBAs, as well as groups currently forming, and hotspots of interest. Each association is unique, but they all share the same goal: supporting the safe and responsible use of prescribed fire for private landowners.
