Today, firefighters successfully burned 600 acres. No ignitions are planned for the rest of the week. Fire managers will assess conditions tomorrow to determine how soon the area closure can be lifted.
The moist and cool temperatures provided good burning conditions to safely reduce hazardous fuels and help stimulate new aspen growth in the area.
#MonroeMountainAspenEcosystemsImprovementProject
As you can see, the smoke from yesterday's operations is dissipating nicely and we anticipate that it will continue to do so after we finish burning today to give the fire and smoke time to subside before Saturday's eclipse
A temporary area closure has been put into place by the Fishlake National Forest. See the closure and map for details: fs.usda.gov/.../FSE_DOCUME… . @FishlakeNF will reopen the area as soon as it’s safe to do so.
