Fire
management officials on the Pomeroy Ranger District are implementing prescribed
burning on 123 acres within the Little George project area, located
approximately 10 miles west of Anatone, Washington along Forest Service Road
(FSR) 4305 near Little Butte Ridge.
This portion
of the Little George prescribed burn is part of a larger prescribed fire effort
in the Little George project area consisting of 250 acres and is anticipated to
take approximately one week to complete. The objective of the work is to
decrease wildfire risk through reductions in existing timber harvest slash and
natural fuel buildup. 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.
