Fire crews have completed ignitions on the Rio Trampas Project piles for the winter season.

Piles from of approximately 180 out of 200 acres were treated with prescribed fire. The remaining piles, representing 20 acres of thinning, have a high fuel moisture content currently not conducive to burning down.

  • Pile Unit off Forest Road 714 (100 acres): Completed
  • Pile Unit west of Highway 76 (60 acres): Completed
  • Pile Unit off Forest Road 207 (40 acres): Partially completed (approximately 20 acres remain)

The remaining piles will be addressed at a future time.

Crews will continue to patrol and monitor burned piles until the fire is called out.
