BLM to Conduct Prescribed Burn Northwest of Canon City

The Bureau of Land Management is preparing to conduct a prescribed buen in the Deer Haven area, about 15 miles northwest of Canon City.   

Approximately 107 acres of BLM land will be treated to reduce accumulated hazardous fuels and improve wildlife habitat. The prescribed burn will begin as soon as weather conditions permit. 

Smoke will be visible for several days after ignition. Firefighters will be on site for several days to patrol the burn.
