Fire this early??

I read about prescribed burning taking place in early April, and I get a 
little concerned.  Fire is a tool, but if not properly applied, it does no 
good.  Burning this early only promotes cool season exotics;  the research 
shows the best time to use fire for controlling these exotics is at the end 
of April through mid May.
