Can Phragmites, people and fire co-exist? Yes, BUT you better do your homework!

At the last presentation I mentioned there are a few fuel and weather dynamics we’ve found that affect how readily Phragmites will burn, Let’s discuss these briefly: RH below 60% Wind speeds 10 mph or greater Clear sky conditions – sunny Stem moisture below 19% Try to burn Phragmites within a year after
being sprayed Altering fuel arrangement can aid you in
getting the job done To have a successful Phragmites
prescribed burn program you may need access to some specialized equipment
Take advantage of unusual weather patterns

Burning within a short time after the spraying program allows you to take advantage of the fine fuels on the plant, ie. leaves, etc., which aids in the spread of the fire.

Lets discuss some of these other points while reviewing some past prescribed burns we’ve conducted here in Michigan

Conditions were ideal to conduct the prescribed burn on an island in Lake St. Clair in a very populated area

Smoke column as viewed from a “sky cam” which is located on the roof of the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit: Public reaction was….ah….”interesting”

Several hundred acre Phragmites prescribed burn that was conducted under “perfect” weather conditions. Too perfect!! Ash particulates dropped out of the smoke column 20+ miles away onto a populated area.

Historically, this is the way Phragmites prescribed burns have been conducted and there still is a place for this technique. Experience, and the need for a better way, have taught us there are various tactics that can be utilized to minimize smoke and heat output.

Altering the fuel arrangement allows you to control the fire’s flame lengths, intensity and generally allow for a less complex prescribed burn. There are other benefits to this tactic as well and we’ll discuss those shortly.

Utilizing existing features for control lines is always a good practice, however they aren’t always in the most ideal locations.

One side benefit of rolling Phragmites for burning is that the burned off stems, which make walking difficult or injure dogs pads,
are minimized.

By manipulating the Phragmites fuel loading on this prescribed burn we were able to successfully conduct operations adjacent to I-75

Let’s continue in shifting gears and explore other tactical options to burning Phragmites in populated areas
![Page 33: Part 2 - Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative...Seasonal Prescriptions and Risk – Part 2 March 12, 2015 Lee Osterland- Fire Management Specialist, Forest Resource Division, Michigan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060512/5f29d02100b3ae693d04849f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The prescribed burn location was a river running through a very populated area. Originally the proposal was to potentially burn the entire island, but due to the proximity to high value areas that wasn’t feasible. What we did was use fire behavior and fuel moistures to guide us in developing a sound fire management plan.

What about equipment used? We’ve definitely learned a few things over the years and having the “right” tools to do the job is invaluable.

Prescribed burn operations were routinely conducted over ice as this was the only way to “get the job done”. Thankfully, today there are more options for doing business which makes the job less complex and risky.
