A Fire Managers Approach to Invasive Species Cooperate Coordinate Collaborate

Prevention, Early Detection, Rapid Response

Fire Management Practices for Invasive Species Management Incorporate invasive species awareness, identification, and prevention education into annual fire training Insure that prescribed fire practices are planned and implemented to limit spread of invasive populations Mitigate potential for spread of invasive species from wildfire suppression operations.

Wisconsin Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species Use Pre-Fire, Pre-Incident Training Opportunities each year to engage firefighters with the issue of invasive species management and updates to problems in local areas. Consider: – Cooperator Meetings – Spring Refresher Sessions – Staff Meetings & Advanced Training

Pre-Fire Training Talking Points Include your local invasives experts and ask them to help Identify local infestations before you have fires in the area Provide plant identification resources to those who need them Share equipment cleaning protocols and briefing points for incoming resources Follow-up assessments after fires are controlled.

Local Expertise is Available Identify your local experts and ask them to help: – State and Federal Resource Agencies – Natural Resources Conservation Service – Cooperative Weed Management Areas Ask for their help with training, identification of infestations, and burn site assessment

Online ID, Reporting, Mapping Resources Use what’s recommended in your area Great Lakes Early Detection Network (GLEDN) Midwest Invasive Plant Network (MIPN) Early Detection & Distribution Mapping System (EDDMapS) Midwest Invasive Species Information Network (MISIN) Android AppiPhone App

Wisconsin Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species Prescribed Fire Practices Avoid placing fire breaks through infestations of invasive species Incorporate invasive species considerations into the planning of prescribed burns Avoid spreading invasive seeds and other propagules from infested to non-infested areas during prescribed fire activities Following prescribed burn, rehabilitate soil disturbances related to burn activities where invasive species establishment is likely.

Consider The Biology & Ecology of Invasives Can prescribed fire be part of an integrated approach to control? Are there prescription windows that are better or worse for the invasive in question? Does the infestation impact the desired fire effects or the success of the fire use practice proposed? Design treatments and activities with these factors in mind. Consult the Fire Effects Information System (

Wisconsin Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species Wildfire Suppression When possible, avoid infestations when constructing fire lines Avoid spreading invasive seeds and other propagules from infested to non-infested areas during fire fighting activities Following a wildfire, rehabilitate soil disturbances related to suppression activities where invasive species establishment is likely.

Can You Help Prevent Spread of Weeds? Are you expected to clean vehicles after working in infested areas? Do you brief incoming and departing crews about invasives they may encounter and carry home? Can you get help with fire site mitigations?
