Pile burning on the Umatilla National Forest

 The Umatilla National Forest will continue to conduct pile burning operations over the next few weeks in various locations across the Forest. Visitors may see smoke from these operations and are encouraged to use caution if approaching an active pile burn. Roads and areas surrounding pile burning activity will be signed.

All burns will be monitored until a season ending rain or snow event occurs.

Additional information about pile burning activities will be posted at https://bluemtnprescribedfire.blogspot.com/
