East Thunderbird Prescribed Burn Sucessful

Posted from an email received:

Just a short note to let you all know that the East Thunderbird Prescribed Burn that was conducted yesterday was fully successful. An area of approximately 70 acres was previously thinned. We were unable to complete this burn last winter due to the lack of moisture. We re-entered the area yesterday to burn the remaining slash. The burn met all objectives from improving wildlife habitat to lessoning the threat of wildfire to private property. This is the first of several broadcast burns planned this fall and winter. We will be continuing to look for burning windows to continue with our prescribed burning program. More to follow…


Please pass this note along to anyone interested. Also, if anyone else wishes to be added to our District Fire Information Email list, please respond to this email. (atperea@fs.fed.us)
