An extremely brief google search tells me that controlled burns require firebreaks, knowledge of the wind patterns (something called a downwind backfire?) and presumably continued monitoring/support from firefighters to actually be a controlled burn over the area that needs it.
I think what you're describing is a total fantasy.
- bluGill 3y agoThe only controlled burn is one that happens regularly. You cannot start with a controlled burn after years of suppression as there is too much fuel. You have to "rip the band-aid off". That is evacuate the whole state, and then start the whole state on fire at once. If you want your house to survive, then you use the warning to clear all the trees/bush around your house so it isn't close to the fire (this is easy to say, impossible to pull off).
