System and method for performing a prescribed burn of land containing vegetative ground fuel

An apparatus configured to perform a prescribed burn of vegetative ground fuel, comprising:

• a movable platform configured to traverse ground that contains the vegetative ground fuel;
• a hitch configured to couple the movable platform to a tow vehicle or a secondary movable platform;
• a burn chamber disposed on the movable platform;
• a plurality of torches disposed in the burn chamber and configured to ignite vegetative ground fuel within a prescribed burn region of the ground;
• an air supply system and a fuel supply system fluidically coupled to the plurality of torches;
• a containment arrangement situated relative to the burn chamber and configured to confine burning of the vegetative ground fuel to the prescribed burn region;
• a discharge apparatus positioned relative to the burn chamber and configured to expel residual effluent from the burn chamber;
• and
• a smoke filtration system configured to filter the residual effluent.
