Which item is included as part of Written Plan Requirements?

• A. Escape Fire Plan
• B. Fuel Load Assessment
• C. Public Notice
• D. Equipment Inventory

Answer: (D)

Having a clear record of resources and readiness is a core part of a safe prescribed burn. The Written Plan includes an Equipment Inventory to confirm that all necessary gear is on hand, assigned, and in serviceable condition before ignition. This helps the burn boss verify access to essentials such as ignition gear (drip torches, fuel), PPE, radios, fire tools, hand tools, hoses and nozzle sets, water supplies or pumps, and other safety equipment, ensuring everyone knows who is responsible for each item. By documenting this, crews can prevent delays or unsafe conditions caused by missing or faulty equipment. Escape Fire Plan focuses on actions if the fire breaches containment and is typically part of broader safety or emergency procedures rather than the equipment list in the Written Plan. Fuel Load Assessment describes the amount and type of fuel and is part of planning related to predicting fire behavior, not the inventory of equipment. Public Notice concerns notifying stakeholders and may be required for permits, but it isn’t the resource-tracking element included in Written Plan Requirements.
