Above is a video narrated by Frank Price of Frank and Sims Price Ranch discussing a prescribed burn at their ranch northwest of San Angelo.
The Texas Wildfire Program is a grassroots effort led by the Texas A&M Forest Service. The idea is to allow ranchers and land owners create maps of their property that indicate which homes and buildings that they want most to protect against out of control wildfires. The Texas Wildfire Ranch Program will work with land owners to identify priority areas on the land that need to be most protected.
A mapping tool attached here, https://texasforestinfo.tamu.edu/mapmyproperty/ allows land owners to identify water sources, points of contact, sensitive areas, fences, gates, and other zones within the ranch to allow firefighters to make tactical decisions that reflect the landowners priorities.
The mapping tool allows land owners to create a map of their property and the ability to mark, draw and edit boundaries, circles, lines, points of interest, text labels, and export the map to a PDF file.
