Southwest District BLM Prescribed Fire
Publication Type: News -

Firefighters had a very successful day on the West Dolores Rim Prescribed Burn. The conditions allowed them to treat 340 acres and complete Units 37A and 30, along with black lining the north end of 37B. Low severity burning is used to clean-up pine needle cast and mountain brush leaf litter. Firefighters will continue to burn the next two days to finish Units 37B, 23, and 24 if conditions are good. Smoke may be visible east of Egnar, CO.
