Calaveras Fire Crews to Begin RX Burn Operations
Hathaway Pines, CA...Fire crews with the Stanislaus National Forest’s Calaveras Ranger District will began prescribed burning operations across the district, beginning as soon as Friday, March 8 and will continue as long as conditions remain favorable.
“Over the last month or so, we’ve been out evaluating different locations around the district where we would be able to accomplish acres of prescribed burning,” said Calaveras District Fire Management Officer, Kellen Brown. “Our environment can produce limited burning opportunities, so as we find units that are favorable and we have the resources on hand, we’ll look to burn them.”
Brown noted good conditions exist around the Alpine Lake recreation area where crews will burn existing log decks. Additionally, Calaveras crews hope to burn several large piles in the Arnold/Avery area around White Pines Lakes and other areas within the district footprint.
Smoke impacts are expected to be minimal with pile burning operations but residents are encouraged to monitor air conditions via the AirNow.gov website and take appropriate actions when necessary. Additional Smoke resources are available via the Stanislaus National Forest’s Smoke Ready page: https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/SmokeReady
Any questions or concerns should be directed to Forest Public Affairs Officer, Benjamin Cossel: benjamin.cossel@usda.gov or 209.288.6261
