Prescribed burn planned FY2024

The USFS has posted a map (see below) to their twitter feed showing a planned prescribed burn for the Monument Preserve in Fiscal Year 2024 (which starts October 1st). From the image, it appears that the fire zone will basically be North of Schilling Ave. No further details available at this point. Per their website:

“In the ongoing effort to create and sustain resilient forests and grasslands, fire crews on the PSICC implement prescribed fire projects. Planned ignitions will begin when weather and fuel conditions become optimal for achieving management objectives while keeping smoke impacts to surrounding communities to a minimum. Weather and fuel conditions are closely monitored and the prescribed burning program will continue as long as conditions remain favorable.”
