BurnBrief

BurnBrief is a mobile + web app that helps land managers and small forestry operators decide whether today is a viable window for prescribed burning and pile burning. It combines hyperlocal weather forecasts, fuel dryness proxies, and simple topography inputs to generate a clear go/no-go recommendation with a short explanation you can show to a supervisor or regulator. Users can create burn units, set thresholds (wind, humidity, dispersion), log ignition times, and generate a basic after-action report. It’s not a replacement for certified burn bosses or agency models; it’s a practical decision-support layer for people who currently juggle scattered data sources and spreadsheets. The MVP focuses on reliability, offline field use, and audit-friendly logs rather than flashy maps. If you can’t prove what you checked and when, you’re exposed—this app makes that documentation painless.
