The U.S. Forest Service is set to begin a prescribed burn at Threemile Creek tomorrow. The burn will take place three miles west of Centerville and is planned to cover 345 acres.
Residents and visitors in the Arkansas River Valley can expect to see smoke in the area for several days once the burn begins. Prescribed burns are a vital tool used by the Forest Service to reduce hazardous fuels, improve forest health, and minimize the risk of larger wildfires.
