reburn

Set aflame twice

To reburn is to burn again—whether literally setting fire to something a second time or, more commonly in technical contexts, re-recording data onto optical media like CDs or DVDs: The first disc failed, so I had to reburn it.

In forestry, reburn describes fire passing through an area that has previously burned.
