This study is being undertaken to determine the level of prescribed fire treatment necessary to minimize smoke from both wildfire and prescribed fire. FERA developed and assigned 192 fuel condition classes to the tradeoff model. The model is complete and runs have been analyzed. Results from the model runs indicate there is a slight "U" shaped curve and that prescribed fires are shown to decrease total emissions. This model will be used by land managers to determine the level of prescribed fire activity and to present a case for prescribed fire to regulatory agencies.
