Fire management officials on the Pomeroy Ranger District are implementing prescribed burning on 68 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 be completed over the next week. 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.
