Additional pile burning planned for Westshore Project on May 5, 2023

Mendocino NF 2023 RX Fire Projects
Publication Type: News 05/10/2023

On Thursday, May 4, firefighters successfully completed 15 acres of pile burning in the Westshore Project area.

On Friday, May 5, firefighters plan to continue pile burning operations in the Westshore Project area. This week conditions have been ideal for pile burning. The cooler temperatures and precipitation allowed fires to burn at low intensity. Tomorrow firefighters will be attempting an additional 20 acres, pending favorable conditions. Please be advised, some smoke may be visible in the Lake Pillsbury basin.

The hand piles that were burned earlier in the week at Stonyford and Soda Creek Stations remain in patrol status. Firefighters will be patrolling units where pile burns occurred tomorrow and over the weekend. The units will remain in patrol status until smoke and hot spots are no longer observed.
