Prescribed Burn Near Red Canyon, Mountainair

As of this morning we are planning on implementing the 253 Deck Rx. Firefighters are on scene and have been taking weather and receiving spot weather forecasts and such. We have allowed ourselves many options. Keep in mind, conditions vary throughout the state so conditions in one area may be quite different from another area. Shutting the burn down at any point, changing burning patterns or cutting the acreage down are among our options that will be evaluated throughout the day. At this time we are within all of the burn parameters that have been set for this burn. This burn will be monitored overnight and throughout the week and weekend if necessary. We have many agencies including National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and Valencia County along with Forest Service Personnel from several districts who will be on scene to assist with this prescribed burn. Please see the attached news release which was sent out last week for further details about the 253 Deck Prescribed Burn.

 Thanks – Arlene
