Text: 'This pocket size field guide contains techniques that can be used either during the burn or soon after completing the burn. They give some indication whether or not desired fire affects, as addressed by the plan's objectives and constraints, are being accomplished or were met. It should be noted they are only indicators and not necessarily conclusive evidence that the project's objectives and constraints were met. These techniques are an assortment of practices, used by different resource managers or specialists, revealed at training sessions or observed during research studies. The guide is intended for use by all personnel involved with a prescribed burn project, whether they are the burn plan author, an interested resource manager, or member of the igniting crew.'
