Lower your risk and liability and apply the lens of an RPF and AFE Fire Ecologist mixed with government certifications as Burn Boss, Fire Behaviour Analyst and Fire Effects Monitor (2004 NWCG) to burn plans an prescriptions.

I lead the planning and implementation of prescribed fires and long term monitoring and support cultural burning. This includes everything from funding and communication plans to implementation and post-burn administration. I don’t do it alone, you will be a part of the process as burn programs should be coming from within the communities they affect.

My unique background means safer, effective and more efficient planning, while respecting the risks and liabilities of fire use.

What is the story that you want to tell?

Take advantage of over two decades in fire effects monitoring. I am trained and experienced in the following guides: Fire Monitoring Handbook (used by BC Parks), Fuels Characteristic Classification System (supporting FMPs), FNESS Cultural FEMO and FIREMON. I am also an NWCG certified Fire Effects Monitor.

Fire monitoring is essential for writing meaningful burn plans and burn prescriptions as well as letting us know if the treatments applied were successful. Monitoring also guides our interactions with the ecosystem over time and informs us when another treatment may beneficial.

Monitoring is fluid and customized to your interests and long-term goals. The results are also useful in public engagement and interactions. Visit workshops to learn how you can do this!

Prescribed fire is science combined with your personal experiences and it is great if you have both. Planning may be daunting but I’m here to help you succeed and facilitate professional plans and prescriptions that will result in successful outcomes.

I have been providing workshops in fire effects monitoring, intermediate fire behaviour, firing operations and prescription development for burn planning. I also have been mentoring up and coming Burn Bosses, Firing Bosses, Holding Bosses and Fire Effects Monitors inside and outside government.
