The heart of good fire.

A passion for restoring fire-adapted areas
From large landscapes to modest home sites, we serve all customers regardless of lot-size
Let’s take a look-see
Site evaluations are the first step towards returning fire to your land.
Scoping and site preparation
Intended burn sites will be walked and monitored for any potential hazards. Some fuels may need tending prior to burn.
Treatment plan
We work with landowners to identify aspects of the environment they wish to promote or suppress with fire. Then we develop a plan to deliver the intended result.
Before/After
Pre-burn and post-burn conditions of your property are documented to demonstrate results.
Restoration Consultation
We offer further help with restoration efforts that tie into your planned burn. Hourly rates apply. Please inquire.
Restoration Services
Additional services such as reseeding or replanting post-burn areas may be available depending on capacity. Hourly rates apply. Please inquire.
“A good fire is like a gathering: fun, safe, easy. But, you have to know what you are doing.”
