Forest Service plans burn east of Douglas


Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 3:08 PM MDT


A prescribed fire is scheduled on the Douglas Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest this week.


The Whitmire Prescribed Fire will be undertaken in the Peloncillo Mountains of southwest New Mexico. Weather and other conditions permitting, 80 acres of National Forest Land will be burned as part of a study led by the Rocky Mountain Research Center.

Four 30- to 60-acre units will be burned over a four-day period, resulting in little smoke after each burn. The burn is not expected to impact forest users.

For information, call Kris Condos or Ruben Morales at 364-3468.
