Prescribed Fire on the Plumas National Forest has BegunFall Prescribed Burning has Begun
Fall prescribed burning has begun on the Plumas National Forest. The purpose of burning is to reduce the amount of hazardous fuels that accumulate in the forest, minimizing the potential impact if a wildfire occurs during the summer. Burns are also used to restore native vegetation such as beargrass, and to improve general forest health. Most of the planned burning will complete Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group fuel-break work within defensible fuel profile zones.
