U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews are scheduled to begin prescribed fire operations in the Rubicon Bay area beginning Aug. 10. Crews expect to conduct operations on an area less than 10 acres.

Operations are expected to continue through the week.

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.
