Fire management officials on the Pomeroy Ranger District are implementing a 22-acre prescribed burn within the Little George project area, located approximately 31 miles south of Asotin, Washington. 

The Little George prescribed burn is anticipated to take 1 day to complete and primarily consists of slash from recent timber sale activities. The objective of the burn is to reduce wildfire risk through reductions in existing fuel loading. Forest visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and avoid the area during prescribed burning activities.

Additional information about this prescribed burn is available by visiting the Umatilla National Forest’s prescribed fire interactive map. This map displays burning activities and is available at https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ea40c8491fea4805b328ac74cd41429e. The interactive map allows the user to zoom in on certain areas and click on a burn unit for more information (such as acreage, status, etc). When burning operations begin the interactive map will be updated to display which burn units are actively burning.
