Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that the application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management
tool that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the
economy of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces
naturally occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load
reduces the risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat
of loss of life and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural
communities require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed
burning is essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal
communities. Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded
from fire-dependent ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...
