Well, we are still in a burn ban here so won't be any controlled burning here for a while. You aren't going to control anything with 10 GPM pump. Our 6x6 5 ton fire truck has a 318 Chrysler with a 850 gpm pump and on windy days like yesterday you can't even keep up to fight a fire with it let alone control one. Most everyone has 11 to 20 HP pumps on smaller brush rigs here and those are just for smaller grass burning. Controlled burn is a poor term anyway and there is no such thing until the fire is out and stayed out for several days and no monetary damage, property damage, or causalties have occured and then you might can call it controlled? Better check with local fire dept. and your USDA local folks too before doing anything and consider the wildlife impact of a burn also. They have them call our FD and we are always in touch with NWS radio weather reports for wind fronts coming in and wind direction changes but like Dave is saying below because of insurance and lawyers we can't go out there and babysit a so called controlled burn saying it won't and can't get away. So be careful with whatever you decide or find out.
