U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews will conduct prescribed fire operations June 30 on Kingsbury Grade and in Rubicon Bay.

The Kingsbury Grade operation near North Benjamin is approximately 2 acres and is expected to last through Thursday.

The Rubicon Bay operation is approximately 1 acre and is also expected to last through Thursday.

All prescribed fire operations are dependent on weather and available staffing.

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