Fire management officials on the Pomeroy Ranger District are implementing prescribed burning on 200 acres within the Little George project area, located approximately 31 miles south of Asotin, Washington near Smiley Ridge and Lost Cabin Ridge.
The
Little George prescribed burn is anticipated to take approximately two weeks to
complete and will be implemented on week days. The planned areas primarily
consist of slash from recent timber sale activities. The objective of the work
is to reduce wildfire risk through reductions in existing fuel loading. Forest visitors
are encouraged to plan ahead and avoid the area during prescribed burning
activities.
Additional
information about this prescribed burn is available by visiting the Umatilla
National Forest’s prescribed fire interactive map. This map displays burning
activities and is available at https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ea40c8491fea4805b328ac74cd41429e.
The interactive map allows the user to zoom in on certain areas and click on a
burn unit for more information (such as acreage, status, etc). When burning
operations begin the interactive map will be updated to display which burn
units are actively burning.
