Prescribed Burning is an effective land management tool.  It provides multiple benefits for both land and wildlife.  But without liability protection, a prescribed burn could be very costly for the landowner conducting the burn.

The Bramlett Agency, through Midlands Management, offers Prescribed Burning Liability Insurance for the protection of landowners and lessees who have a burn plan(1) prepared.  This coverage, which is not usually provided in a homeowners or farm and ranch policy, allows landowners and lessees the ability to conduct a burn on their property.
