Prescribed Burn Insurance Available for Landowners T
HE OKLAHOMA PRESCRIBED BURN ASSOCIATION (OPBA), The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, and The
Bramlett Agency have come together to provide pre- scribed burn insurance. Oklahoma landowners can purchase prescribed burn
insurance to protect themselves or lessees implement- ing prescribed fi re against claims for any damage on someone else’s property. “The development of the pre- scribed fi re insurance was need-driven for landowners and producers to be able to manage their land properly,” says Russell Stevens, Noble Foundation wildlife and range consultant and executive director of the OPBA. “We are working toward making this insurance avail- able to other states as well.” For the insurance policy to be issued and take ef-
fect, landowners in Oklahoma must: • Follow all federal, state and local statutes and or- dinances.
• Adhere to the requirements in “Notifi cation Re- quirements and Considerations for Safe and Lawful Prescribed Burning in Oklahoma: Guidelines, State Law and the Burning Notifi cation Plan,” available through the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Forestry Services. A written prescribed burn plan is also required, and
a template can be obtained from the Noble Founda- tion or OPBA (
www.ok-pba.org). The insurance will only cover the burn detailed in the plan, and each burn crew member must be listed in the burn plan to be covered. For more information about prescribed fi re and
developing a burn plan, contact the Noble Foundation at 580-223-5810 or visit
www.noble.org/fi re. For more information about the insurance, contact Leslie Kutz with The Bramlett Agency at 580-223-7300 or lkutz@
