Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The difference is the intent and the complexity of the burning operation. With burnout operations, the planning process is usually fairly rapid with immediate implementation. The complexity of backfire operations requires more thorough planning and implementation. It often is delayed until conditions warrant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wildfire is unplanned and uncontrolled, whether ignited by lightning, a human or other ignition source. A “controlled fire” is ignited intentionally by a human with a desire to control it, but the fire may or may not involve adequate planning, preparation, labor and equipment to contain it.
