Groveland, CA…The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE) Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit will be conducting a prescribed burning operation in the vicinity of Pine Mountain Lake (PML), on Friday, June 20 through Sunday, June 22, 2025.

Units will be ignited in the PML VMP near Phelan Morgan Road and High School Road, encompassing approximately 100 acres of annual grasses, oak woodland, and scattered brush. This will effectively reduce flammable fuels and enhance the fuel break system around the community of Groveland.

Prescribed burning will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Control lines and established roadways will be used to prevent the spread of fire from areas outside of the burn units. Firefighters will remain at scene during active burning and will be patrolling the area for multiple days after ignitions are complete.
