The Michigan Prescribed Fire Council protects, conserves, and expands the safe use of prescribed fire on Michigan landscapes.

Who we are

The Michigan Prescribed Council (MPFC) was started in 1999 to protect, conserve and expand the safe use of prescribed fire on the Michigan landscape.  MPFC is a voluntary collaboration of individuals interested in prescribed fire who discuss barriers and work towards solutions to increase the use of prescribed fire. The council has been a powerful tool to maintain a network of people who have consistently advocated for and maintained the relevancy of prescribed fire in Michigan’s fire-adapted ecosystems.

Over the years the council has offered annual meetings to discuss techniques, safety practices, research, and state and federal legislation; created and executed crew boss academies; offered numerous introductory technical field-based training; public outreach efforts and provided fire professional speakers on the use of prescribed fire.

Below is our Vision, Mission, Objectives, Values, Tactics, and Strategies for 2024-2029.

 

Vision

The MPFC strives to create a culture of prescribed fire in Michigan where prescribed fire practitioners have support to manage and protect natural and created landscapes with fire safely and efficiently to achieve land management and human safety objectives.
