Texas A&M Forest Service is planning for prescribed burns to take place at Camp Bowie during 2025. Four burn units identified as units 3, 8, 9, and 10 will be burned for a total of 1,205 acres. 

 

These burns are designed to meet multiple land management objectives including reducing the accumulation of hazardous fuels, improve forest health, improve access and visibility for forest management activities and improve wildfire habitat.

 

Each prescribed burn unit has defined weather parameters and firing patterns to ensure the objectives for each unit have a high potential for success. Texas A&M Forest Service personnel will monitor all prescribed burns to evaluate achievement of goals and help guide future prescriptions.

 

Unit 3 – 335 acres

Proposed burning date: 2/26/2025

 

Unit 8 – 328 acres

Proposed burning date: 2/25/2025

 

Unit 9 – 228 acres

Proposed burning date: 2/24/2025

 

Unit 10 – 266 acres

Proposed burning date: 2/24/2025

 

Nearby residents can expect some lingering smoke effects overnight after the burns and may see some moderate to heavy smoke impacts for short periods during ignition operations. These effects will be mitigated by burning on days with good ventilation so that smoke will be dispersed away from communities. 

 

More information will be published as weather conditions allow for safe burning operations.
