FIRE OFFICIALS IN THE MOUNTAINAIR RANGER DISTRICT ARE PLANNING A PRESCRIBED BURN THAT COULD START AS EARLY AS MONDAY, MAY 9TH. THE BURN, HOWEVER, COULD ALSO BE CONDUCTED SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH, AS CONDITIONS ALLOW.
FIRE OFFICIALS BELIEVE IT’S POSSIBLE TO CONDUCT THE BURN NOW OR SOON BECAUSE OF RECENT PRECIPITATION IN THE MOUNTAINAIR RANGER DISTRICT. THE GOAL, AS USUAL, IS TO IMPROVE THE WATERSHED AND WILDLIFE BIO-DIVERSITY, AND TO HELP PROTECT PRIVATE PROPERTY IN CASE OF A WILDFIRE.
