Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an overarching concern about the long term trade offs between air quality protection and efforts to mitigate unwanted wildfire. The emissions from wildfire may exceed air quality standards to such a degree that it may be prudent to allow greater levels of burning now to prevent unmitigated wildfires in the future. Prescribed fire implementation needs to regard to issues, such as health risk, public safety, and ecosystem damage if prescribed burning is not accomplished at the desired rates needs to be clearly understood by political entities, regulatory agencies and the public.
