BLM Prescribed Fires Planned

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) High Desert District has plans to conduct five prescribed fire treatments within the Rawlins (RFO) and Pinedale (PFO) field office areas this spring. One 2,000 acre prescribed fire took place last week at the Marking Pen Creek on the south-southeast portion of the Seminoe Mountains. Shelley Gregory says the burns are necessary.






The four other burns will take place at Miner Creek/East Ferris, Iron Mountain, Upper Billies and Camp Creek.






The exact timing of the prescribed fires is dependent on fuel and weather conditions meeting the burn prescription. Additional information will be released for each fire treatment as it is initiated. For more information, please contact RFO Fuels Specialist Chris Otto at 307-328-4250 or PFO Fuels Specialist Greg Reser at 307-367-5350.
