U.S. Forest Service Fuels Management Crews will conduct prescribed fire operations in the Meiss Meadows, Grass Lake, High Meadows, Baldwin Beach and Meeks Meadow areas on Thursday and Friday.

Residents and travelers can expect to see smoke from prescribed fire project areas.

This and other prescribed fire projects are designed to reduce wildfire risks to communities and critical resources. Smoke management is part of every prescribed fire burn plan, and efforts will be taken to reduce actual or potential smoke impacts on community areas.
