Abstract
  • We surveyed residents across Oklahoma about their awareness of prescribed fire.

  • Most respondents expressed support for prescribed fire for managing rangelands.

  • Although there was support for prescribed fire, few individuals implemented it.

  • Of the several reasons given for not burning, the most common were lack of training, lack of equipment, and choosing not to burn.
