Abstract
Abstract In 1977, the Florida legislature passed the Hawkins Bill authorizing the Division of Forestry to conduct prescribed burns in hazardous accumulations of wildland fuel on private holdings, provided that the owner does not object. During the 1977-1978 fire season the division operated under the law to burn 13,000 acres in absentee ownerships. Initial success of the statute suggests that it can serve as a model for other states with similar fuel-management problems.
