Best Answer

A prescribed fire is a human(firefighter) started fire. It has a specific area that needs to be burned! These are started to eraticate fuels that are in abundance so that when a wildfire does occur in this area it usually is much easier to deal with! A wildwire is basically any fire out of control either human or naturally started!
