Smoke Management Systems

Smoke management systems are strategies and technologies used to control and minimize smoke during events like wildfires or prescribed burns. These systems help ensure that smoke doesn't negatively impact air quality or public health. They involve planning when and where to burn, using weather data to predict smoke behavior, and incorporating physical barriers or tools to direct smoke away from populated areas. Effective smoke management protects communities, wildlife, and ecosystems while allowing necessary fires for land management and prevention of larger, uncontrolled wildfires.
