Prescribed fire today in the Kingsbury area
A prescribed fire pile burn will be conducted today and likely through the week in the Kingsbury area of Stateline, U.S. Forest Service officials announced.
Residents and travelers can expect to see smoke from prescribed fire
project areas.
This burn and other prescribed fire projects are designed to reduce wildfire
risks to communities and critical resources, according to the Forest Service.
Smoke management is part of every prescribed fire burn plan, and efforts will be taken to reduce actual or potential smoke impacts on community areas, a Forest Service spokesman said.
