PRESCRIBED BURNING
ARE YOU SEEING A LOT OF SMOKE?
During the first part of the year it's not uncommon to experience periods of time when there is a lot of drift smoke that settles into our community from large Prescribed Burns being conducted by our forestry agencies. These burns may range in size from as small as 15 acres to thousands of acres. You can view the daily log of prescribed burns here. These do not include small neighborhood leaf piles, etc.
