Prescribed burning was well done in Acacia mangium plantation without any trees damaged or dead and no natural regeneration found in the forest floor after fire. Fuel load 3 ton/ha and fuel bed depth 8 cm can be used as a standard for it. Flame temperature reached from 149„aC and 170„aC and flame length 0.74-0.93 m can safe the plantation for any damage. Three months after burning there was an accumulation of fuel load in the forest floor, therefore 3 months interval is a good solution in preventing the forest from fire invasion.
