Current as of Wed, 05/01/2024 - 17:29
Incident Time Zone America/Denver
Incident Type Prescribed Fire
Incident Description Pile burns work alongside both prescribed fire and mechanical thinning to remove fuels such as woody debris and logging scraps from the forest floor during times of opportune weather.

Fire managers make every effort to effectively plan and execute burn plans at times when weather allows for smoke impacts to be minimized and transport up and over communities.
