Prescribed burning notice

After a little break, prescribed burning is starting up again on the Plumas National Forest - this time on the Beckwourth Ranger District - with ignitions as soon as tomorrow.

Firefighters on the Plumas National Forest Beckwourth Ranger District are planning to start prescribed burning on the Big Hill Project this week, conditions permitting.

The plan is to start treatment with approximately 40 acres south of Sloat tomorrow. If conditions remain favorable, an additional 200 acres is planned for ignition over Thursday and possibly Friday.

Ignitions will pause over the weekend and then resume Monday, May 26. Up to 500 acres in the project area could be ignited through next Wednesday, May 28.

Smoke is expected to be visible but not have significant long-term impacts to nearby communities, including Sloat, Cromberg, Greenhorn Ranch, Blairsden, Graeagle, Clio, Mohawk Valley, Quincy, Portola and the surrounding area.

Area residents and visitors sensitive to smoke may want to be prepared for potential smoke impacts and take measures to reduce exposure.

Short duration, minor smoke impacts are expected along California Highways 70 and 89, and neighboring forest roads.
