The U.S. Forest Service is preparing for prescribed burning in Park County. This will include 715 acres of broadcast burning, which involves the ignition of surface fuels within prepared units.
The projects are Beaver, 7.5 miles southwest of Lake George near the Echo and Beaver Valley Ranches, and Wilson, 2 miles south of Lake George near Blue Mountain.
Burning may begin in mid-October but exact dates are uncertain. Local fire managers will monitor weather closely to ensure burning only takes place when conditions are within the requirements of the burn plan.
When burning does take place, it may continue for several days. Expect smoke to be visible from Highway 24.
