Sonora, CA…..The Stanislaus National Forest provides the following information about planned prescribed burns on the forest.\u00a0\u00a0General and Specific Location:<\/u>\u00a0Dry Meadow Underburn, Summit Ranger District.\u00a0 The prescribed fire is located northwest of Beardsley Lake and adjacent to Forest Service Roads 5N02 (Beardsley Road), 5N22, and 4N66.\u00a0 Locations are Township 4N Range 17E Sections 2-4, 11 and Township 5N Range 17E Sections 22, 23, 26, 33-35. This project is a planned prescribed fire.\u00a0Please do not report as a wildland fire.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Projected Duration:<\/u>\u00a0Ignition of the Dry Meadow Underburn may commence as early as Oct. 15, 2018.\u00a0 Start date and burn days may vary slightly and are contingent on weather, fuel moisture, and air quality. All burning is monitored and conducted in accordance with state and county air quality guidelines and closely coordinated with local county air quality control districts. To view the vicinity map for this prescribed burn visit\u00a0https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/news\/stanislaus\/news-events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planned Size of Prescribed Burn:<\/u>\u00a0A total of 945 acres are to be treated with low-intensity fire, with planned ignition on approximately 100 acres daily.\u00a0 The underburn is divided into 7 units, ranging in size from 94 to 171 acres.\u00a0 Number of acres completed may vary with weather and fuel moisture conditions, as well as permissible air quality burn days.<\/p>\n

Type of Prescribed Burn:<\/u>\u00a0Low-intensity underburn<\/p>\n

Burn Project Objectives:<\/u>\u00a0The goal of this prescribed burn is to enhance public and firefighter safety by reducing the build-up of dead and down fuels and to reduce the threat of high-intensity wildfire while protecting watershed values and wildlife habitat by creating a mosaic pattern of vegetation.<\/p>\n

Public Benefits:<\/u>\u00a0Prescribed burning is an effective, cost efficient method of reducing flammable forest fuels, improving firefighting capabilities, and reducing the impacts of large uncontrolled damaging wildland fires. Smoke may be visible from highways 4 or 108 and surrounding communities. Fire managers are working closely with local air districts and the California Air Resources Board to mitigate the effects of smoke on the public.<\/p>\n
