The big picture about PBAs according to Chief Nicholson? “They’re an asset to every volunteer fire department and if anyone’s against them” he will rise to argue vigorously in their defense. centralnebraskatoday.com/2026/04/23/390… #rxfire #prescribedburnassociations

Happy World Soil Day! Healthy soil keeps our Great Plains ecosystems thriving—and fire plays a big part in that. Prescribed burns help support the plants and organisms that make our soils strong. 🌾

Join us on from Oct 28-29 for a Learn & Burn Prescribed Fire Workshop and Field Day at the Custer County Fire Hall! This hand on work shop will provide landowners and producers the tools and knowledge needed to conduct safe prescribed burns. 📅RSVP by Oct 15! @OklahomaLands

May was Mental Health Month, but we are over here STILL sharing the importance of mental health in agriculture & conservation fields. We've put together an event for people to pause & rejuvenate their minds and bodies all while enjoying the landscape of the Great Plains.

We love it when National Mascot Day is during National Grassland Week! A perfect Match. Last week Blaze & friend @BurnerBob got to hang out in a little different ecosystem than usual. They we're able to get some #RxFire on the ground at the East Texas Fire & Nature Festival.

"Grasslands don't have what?" "Trees!" "Grasslands need what?" "FIRE!" We enjoyed teaching elementary aged students about prescribed fire in grasslands at the recent Wabaunsee County Conservation Day in Kansas!

Happy Memorial Day!
