Nighttime ignitions planned for Westshore Pile Burning Project
Mendocino NF 2023 RX Fire Projects
Publication Type: News 04/14/2023
Fuels specialists on the Upper Lake Ranger District are planning ignitions on five acres of hand piles in the Westshore Project, Unit 8, at approximately 8pm on Thursday, April 13.
Cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity during nighttime offer an additional opportunity for fuels crews to burn piles. Forest staff are coordinating with local authorities for smoke monitoring. After ignitions, crews will mop up and patrol the prescribed burn area on Friday and through the weekend.
Some flames or smoke in the Lake Pillsbury basin may be noticeable. Visitors and residents should avoid areas where crews will be working.
