Prescribed Fire
What is Prescribed Fire? Prescribed
fire (Rx fire) is a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk.
Conducting a Prescribed Burn in Georgia requires obtaining a burn authorization (Burn Permit) from
your local GFC office. When you call you will be asked for your name, name of the landowner of the property (if not the same), location of the burn, acres to be burned, the start and end times of the burn, and the person/phone number to contact during the burn in case additional information is needed.
Prescribed Burning Assistance - The Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC) offers prescribed burning services which include plan preparation, equipment loans,
and on-site assistance.
