Lincoln National Forest Prescribed Burns Planned

The Lincoln National Forest plans to begin prescribed pile burning on the Smokey Bear Ranger District as early as tomorrow, Tuesday, October 13, 2026 weather and conditions permitting.

Planned activity includes:
β€’ October 13: Approximately 2 acres behind the Smokey Bear Ranger District Office off Mechem Drive in Ruidoso
β€’ October 14: Approximately 115 acres in the Skinner Block 2 area north of Cora Dutton Road near Nogal
β€’ Additional prescribed fire activity may continue through the end of October as conditions allow.

No closures are associated with the planned burns. Smoke may be visible or noticeable in Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Alto, and Nogal. Motorists traveling through smoky areas should slow down, turn on headlights, and use hazard lights in heavy smoke. Residents are asked not to report these prescribed fires, as firefighters will remain on scene during ignition and patrol afterward.

Schedules may change based on weather and site conditions.
