Fire staff successfully completed Lick Mountain Prescribed Burn yesterday, Tuesday, March 22. In all, 405 acres were burned. Crews remained on scene all night, patrolling the burn's perimeter. Everything went well!
Rain began falling on the burn area this morning, Wednesday, March 23, at 7 a.m. Personnel and equipment will be on-site today, monitoring and mopping up any areas that need attention, but are confident that today’s rain will extinguish any remaining isolated hot spots.
