At the St. Johns River Water Management District, prescribed fire is a key part of managing Florida’s natural lands—and the drip torch is one of the most important tools we use. 👨🚒🌿
So, what is a drip torch?👇
👉 Fuel Canister: Holds the special fuel mix.
👉 Spout/Burner: A long tube with a flame-holding wick at the end.
👉 Wick: Soaks up fuel and creates a controlled flame.
👉 Air Vent: Keeps the flow steady and safe.
👉 Handle: Helps crews guide the fire exactly where it’s needed.
We use these torches during prescribed burns to reduce wildfire risk, restore habitats, and keep Florida’s ecosystems thriving. 🔥🌾🌎
