More Good Fire

Property Owner Assistance Services For Prescribed Fire

Through the More Good Fire Program (www.good-fire.org), the Healthy Forest Alliance Foundation provides fee-based professional assistance to property owners seeking to plan and implement prescribed fire safely and responsibly.

Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools for reducing hazardous fuels and restoring forest health—but it requires structured planning, qualified leadership, appropriate equipment, and careful risk management. Our Property Owner Assistance Services are designed to provide exactly that.

We offer:

Burn Plan Development – Comprehensive, site-specific burn plans including objectives, prescription parameters, maps, smoke considerations, contingency resources, and operational structure.

Permitting & Compliance Support – Coordination with local air districts, CAL FIRE units, and other regulatory entities to ensure all required documentation and approvals are secured.

Qualified Personnel – Experienced burn boss leadership, firing bosses, holding supervisors, and trained crew members aligned with nationally recognized wildland fire standards.

Liability-Conscious Operations – Structured operational briefings, LCES implementation, documented risk mitigation measures, and clearly defined organizational roles designed to reduce exposure and improve defensibility.

Equipment Resources – Access to engines, UTVs with skid-mount pumps, hose lays, hand tools, drip torches, and safety equipment necessary for safe and effective implementation.

Our fee-based model ensures that projects are professionally managed from start to finish. Landowners gain both technical expertise and operational oversight—allowing them to achieve defensible space, fuel reduction, habitat improvement, or long-term wildfire resilience goals with confidence.

The More Good Fire Program is built on a simple principle: good fire should be planned, supervised, and implemented with professionalism and accountability. When done right, it protects homes, restores ecosystems, and strengthens communities—one property at a time.
