Fire management officials on the Heppner Ranger District are implementing prescribed burning on 158 acres within the Kahler project area, located approximately 10 miles northeast of Spray, Oregon along Forest Service Road (FSR) 2400 near Rocky Flat.
This portion of Kahler prescribed burn is anticipated to take approximately two weeks to complete. The planned area primarily consists of slash from recent timber sale activities. The objective of the work is to decrease 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.
