Peach Orchard Prescribed Burn
Publication Type: Announcement -
Fire staff successfully completed Peach Orchard Prescribed Burn yesterday, Tuesday, March 22. In all, 1,000 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.
Monongahela National Forest’s next prescribed burn will be in Pendleton County, near Circleville, at Big Mountain. Fire staff are monitoring weather and fuel conditions for the right conditions to burn there.
