The Bureau of Land Management will be conducting pile burning projects hrough Friday, Dec. 2, in Modoc and Lassen counties.
The piles of brush and small trees were created in projects to reduce hazardous fuels that could feed wildfires, and to improve rangeland health. There are 200 acres in the project areas. Crews expect to burn piles in areas covering 10 to 50 acres per day.
Projects are Dry Cow: Three miles east of Madeline, Lassen County; Ryegrass Swale: 10 miles south of Alturas, Modoc County; and Callie Springs: 12 miles northeast of Alturas, Modoc County.
Smoke will be visible on ignition days in the burn areas. The BLM expects no smoke impacts to communities.
